Questions Regarding Combustion Reactions
Not what you're looking for?
Please help with the following problems:
A fuel has the following weight percentage composition:
C = 52%, H = 11%, S = 0%, O = 9%, moisture = 13%, Ash = 15%
100 kg of this fuel is burned and you need to calculate the mass of oxygen required for this combustion reaction to occur.
(The 'fuel' is an un-named carbon-hydrogen mix which combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. From the percentages given, you know you have 52 kg C and 11 kg H.)
