being 20% in excess of that required for chemica lly co rrect combustion. The pressure
and temperature in th e vessel befor e co mbustion are respectively 3 bar and 100
C.
Determine:
a. the individual partial pressures and the weights of methane, nitrogen and oxygen present
before combustion;
b. the individual partial pressures of the burnt produc ts, on the assumption that these are
cooled to 100
C without change of volume and that all the vapour produced by
combustion is condensed.
