COMBUSTION OF FUELS

The following chemical equations are used to calculate the amount of oxygen required and the amount of gases produced by the combustion of fuel, by using the molecular weight of the elements in kg:

1. C + O₂ → CO₂12 + 32 → 44
2. 
3. 2C + O₂ → 2CO24 + 32 → 56
4. 
5. 2CO + O₂ → 2CO₂56 + 32 → 88
6. 
7. 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O4 + 32 → 361 + 8 → 9
8. S + O₂ → SO₂32 + 32 → 641 + 1 → 2
