Summative Assessment #1 PDF

This document contains instructions for a summative assessment with two chemistry problems. The first problem asks the student to calculate the Orsat analysis of exhaust gas from an automobile using 85 octane gasoline. The second problem has two parts that ask the student to determine the Orsat analysis of combustion gases produced when formaldehyde is burned with either excess air or just enough air.

SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT #1

Instructions: Solve each problem as neatly as possible and show complete solution. Round
everything to four decimal places and box all final answers. Solution should be handwritten.

1. The octane number of gasoline is the % by volume iso-octane in an iso-octane


(C8H18) – n-heptane (C7H16) mixture with the same knocking tendency as the fuel. An
automobile uses an unleaded gasoline with an octane number of 85. Air is supplied
30% in excess such that the molar ratio of CO 2 to CO is 5:2 and H2 to CO is 1:1 in the
exhaust gas. Calculate the Orsat analysis of the exhaust gas. Density of i-octane is
0.6918 and n-heptane is 0.684 g/mL.

2. Pure formaldehyde gas (CH2O) is burned completely in air, using 50% excess air.
a. What should be the Orsat analysis of the combustion gas?
b. What should be the Orsat analysis of the combustion gas if instead of excess air,
only enough were used to burn all the hydrogen to water, 25% of the carbon to CO 2
and the remaining 75% to CO, the combustion being conducted that no oxygen gas
whatever is left remaining in the combustion products.
