The product gas from a solid fuel combustion reaction has the following dry-basis molar composition: 72.0% CO, 2.57% CO, 0.0592% SO, and 25.4% O2. Pure oxygen is fed to the furnace in 20% excess of that required to burn the fuel completely. There is no oxygen in the fuel. Calculate the elemental composition (mole% of the various elements) of the fuel.

Step 1

First, we need to find the moles of each gas in the product gas composition. For CO₂: 72.0% = 0.72 moles For CO: 2.57% = 0.0257 moles For SO₂: 0.0592% = 0.000592 moles For O₂: 25.4% = 0.254 moles Show more…
