Conversion of synthetic gas volume to weight

When is your homework due?

M=PV/RT. FOR HYDROGEN IT IS=ATM. PRESSURE*0.31/R*ATM. TEMP. SIMILARLY FOR OTHER GASES , WE CAN CALCULATE WEIGHT OF GIVEN VOLUME AND THEN CONVERT IT TO PERCENTAGE.

Thanks Irshad,

But since pressure and temperature remains the same for all gas components, through idea gas equation we end-up the same percentage.

At the end the Mass of H2% is estimated MH2%= 2*VH2% /(2*VH2%+18*VCO2+16*VCH4)

Where 2,18,16 Molecular Weights

Hello gvallios

Your equation is nearly there. It should be

MH2%= 2*VH2% /(2*VH2%+28*VCO%+16*VCH4%) Mol. wt. of CO = 28, not 18.

Just need to repeat for the CO and CH4. You seem to have managed OK, what's the problem?

Dear Codey,

Thanks for your confirmation on equation correctness
