Answer:
This is a coal combustion process and we will assume
Inlet coal amount = 100kg
It means that there are
15kg of H2O, 2kg of Sulphur and 83kg of Carbon
Now to find the mole fraction of SO2(g) in the exhaust?
Molar mass of S = 32kg/kmol
Initial moles n of S = 2/32 = 0.0625kmols
Reaction: S + O₂ = SO₂
That is 1 mole of S reacts with 1 mole of O₂ to give 1 mole of SO₂
Then, it means for 0.0625 kmoles of S, we will have 0.0625 kmole of SO2 coming out of the exhaust
The mole fraction of SO2(g) in the exhaust=0.0625kmols
