Estimate the theoretical amount of air that required to completely
burning one kilogram of benzene (C6H6). If the air in the mixture is made
10% deficiency; find the equivalence ratio and wet analysis of the
products.

Expert Solution

The stoichiometric equation for 1 mole of benzene is written and then number of moles for 1 kg of benzene are obtained. Then number of moles of air required are calculated. Once the number of moles required for air are calculated, then the mass of air required can be obtained. If the air is 10% deficient, then the mass of air can be calculated. Once the mass of air is calculated, the number of moles for air can be obtained. The equivalence ratio is then calculated as the ratio of Fuel to air in actual case to the Fuel and air in the stoichiometric case. The chemical reaction equation with deficient air is then written and the moles of the products are obtained. The product side will be fuel rich as the fuel air mixture is lean and the complete combustion didn't happened.

Methane is burning with minimum amount of air to form the stable products. The premixed methane-air mixture is filled in a leak-proof spherical vessel at an initial pressure of 1 bar and 298 K. The vessel is well insulated to avoid thermal energy interaction with the surroundings.The combustible mixture is ignited at the centre of the vessel using an electrical spark. The energy added to the mixture for ignition is negligible. During the combustion process, the pressure of the combustion...
