a coke is known to contain 90% carbon and 10% noncommutative ash weight calculate the moles of oxygen are theoretically required burn 100 kg for completely ? if 50% excess air applied if calculate the analysis of gases at the end of combustion
Hello candidate,
The reaction which takes place in the above question is-
{C (coke) + O2 (oxygen)- CO2 ( carbon dioxide) }.
As it is a balanced chemical reaction, so in order to produce 1 mole of carbon dioxide, 1 mole of coke used to be completely burnt in the presence one mole of oxygen.
As 100 kg of coke is burnt, so hundred kilograms of Oxygen gas is needed, which is equal to 4 moles of carbon dioxide produced.
Hope that it helps you!!
