SECTION-3
4 Q.4 Suppose that in a test 20 kg of propane (C3H8) is burned with 400 kg of air to produce 2
44 kg CO2 and 12 kg of CO. What was the percentage excess air? Consider the following
chemical reaction [C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O]
5 The chlorination of methane occurs by the following reaction 3
CH4+ Cl2 → CH3C1+ HC1
You are asked to determine the product composition by elemental balance method, if the
conversion of the limiting reactant is 67%, and the feed composition in mole % is given as:
40% CH4, 50% Cl2, and 10% N2.
