Question

a feed stream containing ethane (C2H6) and CO2 is burned with O2-deficient air (air containing less than 21% O2) to yield the following Orsat product gas analysis:
84.7% N2
11.7% CO2
1.9% O2
1.7% CO
five percent excess O2 is used
a) what is the %CO2 in the C2H6-CO2 feed?
b) what is the %O2 in the O2-deficient air?

the following stoichiometric equations apply:
C2H6+7/2O2 ---> 2CO2 + 3H2O
C2H6+5/2O2 ---> 2CO + 3H2O a feed stream containing ethane (C2H6) and CO2 is burned with O2-deficient air (air containing less than 21% O2) to yield the following Orsat product gas analysis:
