QUESTION:
Propane fuel () is burned in the presence of air. Assuming that the combustion is theoretical-that is, only nitrogen (), water vapor (), and carbon dioxide (CO2) are present in the product-determine (a) the mass fraction of carbon dioxide and (b) the mole and mass fractions of the water vapor in the products.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 6
Propane is burned with a theoretical amount of air. The mass fraction of carbon dioxide and the mole and mass fractions of the water vapor in the products are to be determined.
The molar masses of , , , , and are 44, 32, 28, 44, and , respectively (Table A-1).
