 2 The maximum temperature attainable when burning hydrocarbon fuels is limited

2 The maximum temperature attainable when burning hydrocarbon fuels is limited by the dissociation of CO2 in the product gases. We will consider the reaction CO2CO+21O2. (a) Calculate the equilibrium constant and enthalpy of reaction for this reaction from the following formation reaction data for species at 3000K.(1) (b) Assuming we start with pure CO2 calculate the equilibrium mole fractions of CO2,CO, and O2 at T=3000K and p=1 and 100 atm. ote: To simplify the calculations we are omitting the reaction 21O2O, i.e. we are neglecting the presence of O in the gas mixture
