Himmelblau: Toluene, C7H8, is burned with 30% excess air. A bad burner cause 15% of the carbon to form soot (pure C) deposited on the walls of the furnace, what is the Orsat analysis of the gases leaving the furnace?

Ans: 9.1% CO2; 8.9% O2; 82% N2

Please include diagrams, calculus, and important notes. Thanks!

Expert Solution

Based on the reaction stoichiometry, we will calculate the theoretical amount of O2 required and hence the fed amount using percent excess given as shown below.

Now as 15% pure C stick to the walls, so only 85% C will react but complete H will react.

Orsat analysis is composition analysis on dry basis (neglecting water).

The required solution is provided below.
