A mixture of propane and butane is burned with pure oxygen. The combustion products contain 46.7 mole% H2O. After all the water is removed from the products, the residual gas contains 69.0 mole% CO2 and the balance O2 a. What is the mole percent of propane in the fuel?

28%

Explanation:

Basically, all o did was write the equations, balance it and solve for them. Also, at the place I stared, I used simultaneous equation to solve it. Multiplying by 8 and also 3.

It's a pretty straightforward question.

At the final step that's missing, I Did

(y)C3H8 = 2.8 / ( 2.8 + 7.1)

(y)C3H8 = 0.28

1. for the first question, we must find the mass of the anhydrous salt, mgso₄. the molar mass for mgso₄·7h₂o is 246.47 g/mol, while that of mgso₄ is 120.37 g/mol.7.834 g mgso₄·7h₂o * 1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o/246.47 g * 1 mol mgso₄/1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o * 20.37 g mgso₄/mol = 0.647 g mgso₄

2. mass of water = mass of sample - mass of anhydrous salemass of water = 7.834 - 0.647 = 7.19 gpercent water in hydrate = 7.19/7.834 * 100 = 91.74%
