Homework Statement
I have worked out the Stoichiometric equation for this Combustion question, however the second part the Air Intake is only 90% which I have also worked out. My question is, during the element balancing how do I obtain values for b and c.
Homework Equations
So this is how it currently stands:
[6.83C + 18H] + 10.20 O2 + 38.34 N2
b CO2 + c CO + d H2O + 38.34 N2
The Attempt at a Solution
I understand this:
C: 6.83 = b + c
H: 18 = 2d
O: 10.20 = 2b + c + d
I have the answer which is;
4.57 CO2 and 2.26 CO
I understand how to obtain the H20 value, but I assumed b + c = 6.83 would just be
b = 3.41
c = 3.41
But this is wrong so could anyone explain how I get the actual values for b and c?
The final answer looks like this:
[Fuel] + 10.20 O2 + 38.35 N2
4.57 CO2 + 2.26 CO + 9 H2O
Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
