A fuel oil is analyzed and found to contain 85.0 wt% carbon, 12.0% elemental hydrogen (H), 1.7% sulfur, and the remainder noncombustible matter. The oil is burned with 20.0% excess air, based on complete combustion of the carbon to CO2, the hydrogen to H2O, and the sulfur to SO2. The oil is burned completely, but 8% of the carbon forms CO. Calculate the molar composition of the stack gas.
