A fuel gas containing 86% methane, 8% ethane, and 6% propane by volume flows to a furnace at a rate of 1450 m3/h at 15°C and 150

kPa (gauge), where it is burned with 8% excess air. Calculate the required flow rate of air in SCMH (standard cubic meters per hour).

Answer:

Basis: Hour

From the question, we will have the following reactions;

CH4 + 2O2   -------- CO2 + 2H20   (Methane with O2)

C2H6 + 3.5O2  -------- 2CO2 + 2H2O  (Butane with O2)

C3H8 + 5O2   ---------- 2CO2 + 4H2O   (Propane with O2)

But we are also given this,

R=8.314J/mol.K, V=1450m3/h, P=150kPa gauge, Pt=150+101kPa=251kPa, T=15C= 288K

Assuming they are all ideal gases, we can find the no of moles of the gases.

n=PV/RT,

n = 251x103 x 1450 /8.314 x 288

n = 151, 999mols = 152kmols

However from the input and complete reactions stoichiometries above, we will have,

1.  Methane 86% = 0.86 x 152kmols = 130kmols, required O2 = 2 x 130.7 = 261.44kmols

2. Ethane 8% = 0.08 x 152kmols = 12.2kmols, required O2 = 3.5 x 12.2 = 42.56kmols

3. Propane 6% = 0.06 x 152 kmols = 9.2kmols, required O2 = 5 x 9.1 = 45.5kmols

O2 = 349.5kmols,  with 8% excess, Total O2 = 349.5+ (0.08x349.5) = 377.46kmols

But Air:O2 = 21%: 100%

inflow Air = 377.46x 100/21= 1797.5kmols, at standard pressure and temperature.

From PV =nRT

V (M3/H) = nRT/P

 =====  1797.5mol x 8.314Nm/mol.K x 273K/101325Nm-2 x 1000

Hence, the required flow rate of air in SCMH = 40,265m³/h

A sample of N2O3(g) has a pressure of 0.046 atm . The temperature (in K) is then doubled and the N2O3 undergoes complete decompo
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

0.184 atm

Explanation:

The ideal gas equation is:

PV = nRT

Where<em> P</em> is the pressure, <em>V</em> is the volume, <em>n</em> is the number of moles, <em>R</em> the constant of the gases, and <em>T</em> the temperature.

So, the sample of N₂O₃ will only have its temperature doubled, with the same volume and the same number of moles. Temperature and pressure are directly related, so if one increases the other also increases, then the pressure must double to 0.092 atm.

The decomposition occurs:

N₂O₃(g) ⇄ NO₂(g) + NO(g)

So, 1 mol of N₂O₃ will produce 2 moles of the products (1 of each), the <em>n </em>will double. The volume and the temperature are now constants, and the pressure is directly proportional to the number of moles, so the pressure will double to 0.184 atm.

What quantity can be calculated for a solid compound, given only the formula of the compound and the periodic table of elements
gavmur [86]
When you have both of these ( The periodic table of elements and the formula of your compound) you are able to calculate the R.M.M ( Relative atomic mass) of that compound.
For example the formula of a NaCl ( Table salt ) has the elemnt Na and Cl.
We look at the atomic mass of both of these compounds
Na - 23
Cl - 35.5
R.M.M = 23 +35.5 = 58.5
Hope this helps :).
