STOICHIOMETRIC COMBUSTION CALCULATOR FOR ALKANE, ALKENE AND ALKYNE FUELS

The given equation is

CnH2n+2 + ar (O2+3.76N2) = aCO2 + bH2O + c(3.76N2)

And here

n = Number of moles of C

ar = Stoichiometric coefficient

a = Number of moles of Carbon-di-oxide

b = Number of moles of water

c = Number of moles of nitrogen

Now let us balance the chemical equation with the algebraic method.

Alkanes:

The given equation is

CnH2n+2 + ar (O2+3.76N2) = aCO2 + bH2O + c(3.76N2)

For the above equation “ar” is calculated as = 3n+1/2

Alkenes:

CnH2n + ar (O2+3.76N2) = aCO2 + bH2O+ c (3.76N2)

For the above equation “ar” is calculated as = 3n/2

Alkynes:

CnH2n−2 + ar (O2+3.76N2) = aCO2 + bH2O + c (3.76N2)

For the above equation “ar” is calculated as = 3n-1/2
