Benzene is burned with 50% excess air. What is the flue gas composition?
(Determine: CO2, H2O, O2, N2 v/v content in flue gas)
Let us consider a reaction,
C6H6 + 15/2O2 ----> 6CO2 + 3H2O
1 mol of C6H6 requires = 15 /2
= 7.5 mol of O2
Volume of O2 = 7.5 * 22.4 ( STP)
= 168 litres
Air used = 168 litres * 100 / 21
= 800 litres ( In air, O2 = 21% & N2 =79%)
and we used 50% excess = 1.5* 800
= 1200 litres
22.4 litres of Benzene and1200 litres of Air = Total feed volume
= 1222.4 litres
1mol C6H6 produces 6 mol CO2 = 6mol * 22.4 litres/mol
= 134.4 litres CO2
and H2O produced = 3 * 22.4
= 67.2 litres H2O
and O2 consumed = 168 litres
O2 unburned = 0.5 * 168
= 84 litres
N2 unburned =79 *1200 / 100
= 948 litres
Total volume = 134.4+67.2+84+948
= 1233.6 litres
CO2 (%V/V) = 134.4 / 1233.6
= 0.10894 or 10.89%
H2O = 67.2/1233.6
= 0.05447 %
O2 = 84 / 1233.6
= 0.068%
N2 = 948 / 1233.6
= 0.7684 %
