Chapter 6, Problem 6.157AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The temperature, pressure, and the mole fraction of ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ is given to be assumed as $200°\text{C,}\text{1}\text{.00}\text{atm,}\text{0}\text{.21}$ respectively. The volume of air needed to burn the propane completely is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The mole fraction is defined as the ratio of the number of moles of each individual gas by the total numbers of moles which represent the entire component.

To determine: The volume of ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ needed to burn $1\text{g}$ of ${\text{C}}_{\text{3}}{\text{H}}_{\text{8}}$.
