Therefore, O2 used up for reacting with carbon = 10.81 mole and, Carbon in the hydrocarbon = 10.81 atoms O2 reacted with Hydrogen in the hydrocarbon = 22.7 - (10.81 + 3.78) = 8.11 4H + O2 2H2O
1 mole of O2 reacts with 4 atoms of hydrogen. Therefore, hydrogen in the hydrocarbon = 8.11 x 4 = 32.44 atoms. C:H ratio in the hydrocarbon = 1 : 32.44/10.81 = 1 : 3 Theoretical air demand = air needed for complete conversion of carbon to carbon dioxide and hydrogen to water vapor % excess air = 100 x (actual air used - theoretical air demand) / theoretical air demand = 100 x (22.7 - (10.81 + 8.11))/( 10.81 + 8.11) = 20%
