Natural gas is used as a cooking fuel in many restaurants and homes. The primary chemical components of natural gas are hydrocarbons known as alkanes.

Research and list the primary alkanes found in natural gas, and explain why these compounds excel as fuel sources.

A local plate glass factory burns natural gas in its glass furnaces. To ensure complete combustion of the fuel, 25% excess air is provided. While the composition of natural gas is variable, the natural gas found in Ohio has the following mole% composition: 93.5% methane, 4.24% ethane, 1.11% N2, and 1.15% CO2. Their plant produces 15 tons per day of plate glass using the float method. Melting this glass requires 4.3 million BTUs/day provided by 116 SCM of natural gas burned/day.

5a: How many moles of natural gas are consumed per day by the furnace?

5b: How many moles of each of natural gasรขย€ย™ components are injected into the burners per day?

-Methane

-Ethane

-Nitrogren

-Carbon Dioxide

5c: Assuming that the fuel in the natural gas is completely combusted, write the stoichiometric reaction equations for the methane and ethane.

5d: In addition to the fuel combustion products, 8.8 lbs. of NO/ton of glass is produced by the combustion process, consuming some of the nitrogen in the air. Since NO is a pollutant, it should not be considered in the excess air calculations. What is the flowrate in kgmol/day of each component of the flue gas?

What is a hydrocarbon? What is the difference between a saturated hydrocarbon and an unsaturated hydrocarbon?Distinguish between normal and branched hydrocarbons. What is an alkane? What is a cyclic alkane? What are the two general formulas for alkanes? What is the hybridization of carbon atoms in alkanes? What are the bond angles in alkanes? Why are cyclopropane and cyclobutane so reactive?

The normal (unbranched) hydrocarbons are often referred to as straight-chain hydrocarbons. WHat does this name refer to? Does it mean that the carbon atoms in a straight-chain hydrocarbon really have a linear arrangement? Explain. In the shorthand notation of cyclic alkanes, the hydrogens are usually ommitted. How do you determine the number of hydrogens bonded to each carbon in a ring structure?
