200 moles of ethane C2H6 are burned in a furnace with air that contains 945 moles of O2. The flue gas is measured and contains 20 moles of C2H6.
a. Is there excess oxygen? If so please determine how much excess.
b. The Orsat meter used to measure the components of the flue gas appears to be off. Can you confirm the composition of each species?
c. Calculate the heat transferred from the furnace provided that the ethane enters the system at 25 C, the air is preheated to 100 C and the flue gas exits at 400 C.

You are working for a power plant that makes use of coal tar, a type of liquid fuel as its raw material for burning in a boller. This type of fuel is mainly composed of carbolic oll, naphthalene oil, creosote oil and anthracene oll. After analyzing coal tar you were able to wow it contalns 85.9% 0,63% H, 2.2% S. 4.5% O and 1.1% N. You told the operators to make use of excess air for combustion. The air was assumed to enter at 30°C with 90%RH. In order to follow DENR regulations, you took a sample of the bumper gis to analyze its contents. Midway your experimentation, the equipment you used broke so it only gave you a partial analysis of 10.64% CO, 3.19%, CO and 0.64% H. a. The operators had no idea how much excess alr was needed, What do you tell them? b. You need to make the report to be passed that day for the analysis of the burner gas.

Pure octane has a boiling point of 125.7 °C, but can be steam distilled with water at a tem- perature of 90 °C. Calculate the mass of octane that codistills with each gram of water and the percent composition of the vapor that is produced during the steam distillation. [Again, you'll need the vapor pressure of water at the steam distillation temp to solve this problem!] Note that if you multiply the second equation from question 3 above by the MW of both the oil and water, you get: mass oil/mass water = (P°) (MW)/ (Pwater) (MW water)arrow_forward
- Give the balanced equation for each of the following. (a) The combustion of liquid ethanol (C2H5OH) forms carbon dioxide and water vapor. A combustion reaction refers to a reaction of a substance with oxygen gas. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Include states-of-matter under the given conditions in your answer.) (b) Aqueous solutions of aluminum sulfate and barium chloride are mixed, resulting in the precipitate formation of barium sulfate with aqueous aluminum chloride as the other product. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Include states-of-matter under the given conditions in your answer.)arrow_forwardUsing RCRA procedures, determine if the following are hazardous wastes. State the reason why, or why not it is hazardous. If it is hazardous, state the category number. Assume the industry producing the waste is a RCRA hazardous waste generator. 1.
