Methane gas (CH4) is burning with atmospheric air in a Bunsen burner to produce a stable flame. Determine by assuming negligible dissociation: (a) The Air/Fuel Ratio by mass for stoichiometric combustion. (b) Equivalence Ratio of the Air/Fuel mixture when volumetric analysis of the dry products shows 9.56% of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and 2.79% of carbon monoxide (CO). Molecular masses are provided: • Hydrogen (H₂) = 2 kg/kmol • Nitrogen (N₂) = 28 kg/kmol Oxygen (O₂) = 32 kg/kmol Carbon (C)= 12 kg/kmol • ● Methane gas (CH4) is burning with atmospheric air in a Bunsen burner to produce a stable flame.
