Question: A waste gas mixture containing hydrogen sulfide ( HS ) is combusted with air, as depicted in Figure below. Analysis of 1 . 2 8

A waste gas mixture containing hydrogen sulfide (HS) is combusted with air, as depicted in Figure below. Analysis of 1.285 mol of the exit gas shows 0.1 mol of CO2 and 0.08 mol of SO2. Due to the significant presence of SO2, the flue gas undergoes scrubbing using water. Post-scrubbing, the gas composition on a dry basis is 1.0% CO,7.5% CO2,2.6%02, and 88.9% N2, with a moisture content represented by a mole fraction of 1/11. The scrubbing solution contains 2.5% CO2,8% SO2, and 89.5% H20.Given that the combustion used 10% excess air, determine the composition of the original fuel, expressed in mole fractions or percentages.The main combustion reactions occur within the reactor are as below:CH4+202+ CO2+2H20H25+3/202-502+ H20Note that there might be other reactions besides the combustion.
