Sulfur, atomic nitrogen, and nonane (chemical formula of C_9H_20) are combusted. combusted, and oxygen. The nonane completely reacts. One-half of the nonane reacts y com react in a 50% reacts by the method of incomplete combustions. Sulfur (S) and atomic n similar fashion by complete combustion. W rite the balanced stoichiometric equation for each reaction. You have 10 gmoles each of nonane, sulfur, and atomic nitrogen entering afrom chamber. Calculate the amount of gmoles of each chemical component in the exhaust gas the combustion unit. Which of the exhaust gas materials contribute to an increase of the earth's greenhouse gases, and why.

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER

(a)

(i) 2C9H20 + 47/2O2 ----------> 9CO2 + 9CO + 20H2O

(ii) N + O2 --------> NO2

(iii) S + O2 ---------> SO2

(b) As per the stiochiometry of the reactions shown above if 10gmoles of nonane undergoe combustion 45 moles of each CO2 anCO will be produced along with 100 gmoles of H2O.

10C9H20 + 235/2O2 ----------> 45CO2 + 45CO + 100H2O

Similarly 10N + 10O2 --------> 10NO2

10 S + 10O2 ---------> SO2

H2O and CO2
