Step 1
To determine the stoichiometric ratio, we need to know the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of propane. The balanced equation is: C3H8 + 5O2 -> 3CO2 + 4H2O From the equation, we can see that 1 mole of propane requires 5 moles of oxygen. Therefore, Show more…

In a combustion process with decane, $\mathrm{C}_{10} \mathrm{H}_{22},$ and air, the dry product mole fractions are $83.61 \% \mathrm{~N}_{2}$, $4.91 \% \mathrm{O}_{2}, 10.56 \% \mathrm{CO}_{2},$ and $0.92 \% \mathrm{CO} .$ Find the equivalence ratio and the percentage of theoretical air of the reactants.
