Good question...... Let take one chemical equation for an example. C+O2 ---- CO2 In this Carbon has Atomic Mass of 12 Ox-have 16 So substituting those values, we can rewrite eqn 12 kg of carbon+(16*2)kg of ox-----(12+32)kg of co2 Simplifying.... 12kg of C+32 kg og o2 ---- 44kg of co2 So o2 required for 1kg of Carbon is... 1kg of C+ 32/12 kg of o2 ----- 44/12 kg of co2. 1c+ 2.6kg of o2 ----- 3.6kg of co2 So 2.6 kg of o2 required for combustion of 1 kg carbon. Coming to your question We all know that atmosphere contains 23% of o2 by weight and 21% by volume. So... Weight of air is ------ 2.6 * (100/23) = 11.3 kg Volume of air is--------2.6 * (100/21) = 12.38m3.
What else can I help you with?
Can you make water by burning hydrogen gas in air?
Yes. Burning hydrogen gas in air produces water vapor.
What is the difference between burning steel wool in air and burning it in a pure oxygen?
burns faster in pure oxygen as the percentage of oxygen is less in air
What is the name of the gas that causes burning in the air?
oxygen
What is the product of burning nichrome in air?
Nichrome is not flammable.
Which gas in the air keeps a fire burning?
Oxygen is the gas in the air that keeps a fire burning. It helps combustion by reacting with the fuel source to produce heat and light.
What is needed for burning a fuel efficiently?
Correct proportion of oxidant.
What is ozone's proportion in air?
Ozone's proportion is very low in the atmosphere. It is a rare gas.
What proportion of air was used in lavoisier' s experiment with air and metal?
idea i no have
What is the name of a substance formed by burning hydrogen and ethanol in air?
what is the substance formad when burning both hydrogen and ethanol in the air
What gas in the air is burning up in burning?
Combustion consumes oxygen.
Can you make water by burning hydrogen gas in air?
Yes. Burning hydrogen gas in air produces water vapor.
How carbon dioxide gets in the air?
The burning of carbon - be it food in plants and animals or from burning fuel or from burning forests.
Who discovered that gas oxygen was essential to the process of burning?
The discovery that oxygen is essential for burning was made by the English scientist Joseph Priestley in the 1770s. He conducted experiments where he found that a substance that he called "dephlogisticated air" (now known as oxygen) was required for candles to burn.
What is the required speed to flight in the air?
The required speed to flight in air is 280kmph.
What element is required to burn paper?
Burning is the rapid Oxidation of a Compound. Therefore the Element Oxygen is required.
Does burning process occur in vacuum?
burning process does not occur due to absence of air.
Why is air mixed with the gas in the barrel of the burner before the gas will burn?
Air is mixed with gas before burning to achieve the appropriate air-to-fuel ratio for combustion. The right ratio ensures complete combustion, which maximizes heat output and efficiency while minimizing emissions. Insufficient air can lead to incomplete combustion and the production of harmful byproducts.
