When a hydrocarbon burns with 300% of theoretical air, is the
adiabatic flame temperature higher than, lower than, or equal to
the adiabatic flame temperature when it burns with 100% of
theoretical air? Why? Note: You must correctly explain your
reasoning to receive credit for this problem.
200. g of liquid phase octane (C8H18) are burned in air at a
temperature of 100. degrees Celsius and a pressure of 1.00 atm,
forming vapor phase water and carbon dioxide.
a) Write the balanced chemical reaction equation for this
process.
b) What is the magnitude of the difference between ΔE and ΔH for
one mole of octane going through this process? (Hint: use the value
of R that makes life easiest.)
c) The reaction is in contact with a...
the adiabatic flame temperature (theoretical maximum temperature)
of black coal in air is over 2000oC. If the ambient
temperature is 20oC then the theoretical maximum
efficiency of a coal fired power station is approximately 87%.
Why then is the efficiency of even the best coal fired power
stations less than 50%.
Find the adiabatic flame temperature for complete combustion
with 130% theoretical air for pentane. (The pentane and air enter
at standard reference conditions.)
Calculate the theoretical flame temperature for CO gas burned
at constant pressure with 100% excess air, when the reactants enter
at 100°C.

A 1.800 g sample of octane, C8H18, was burned in a bomb
calorimeter whose total heat capacity is 11.66 kJ/°C. The
temperature of the calorimeter plus contents increased from 21.59°C
to 29.44°C. What is the heat of combustion per gram of octane? What
is the heat of combustion per mole of octane? In a bomb calorimeter
(where pressure is NOT constant) what is the heat of reaction equal
to?
For a constant-volume stoichiometric propane-air mixture
initially at 298K, determine the adiabatic flame temperature and
final pressure assuming constant specific heats evaluated at
298K.
The combustion of liquid octane, C8H18, in
the presence of gaseous oxygen yields carbon dioxide and liquid
water.
