a fuel gas containing 95% methane 5% N2 is burnt in a boiler furnace with 150% excess air. 86% of the methane goes to formation of CO2. 10% to CO and 4% remains unburnt. Calculate the composition of stack gas
Let it be 1 mole of methan. Then 0.86 mole goes to formation of CO2. As we can see from reaction it form 0.86 mole of CO2.
0.1 mole goes to formation of CO. As we can see from reaction we get 0.1 mole CO.
And 0.04 mole of CH4 remained.
Also in fuel gas was N2
So composition of stack gas is
