Consider the combustion of coke with the following equations: C+1/2 O2 = CO C + O2 = CO₂ If 2000 kg coke composed of 100% carbon is burned to produce CO, and another 1500 kg coke composed of 100% carbon is burned to produce CO2, what is the total volume of air required if air is 25% O₂ in terms of weight, and the relative humidity is at 40% at a temperature of 298 K?

Question
Consider the combustion of coke with the following equations: C+ ½ O2 = CO C+ 02 = CO2 If 2000 kg coke composed of 100% carbon is burned to produce CO, and another 1500 kg coke composed of 100% carbon is burned to produce CO2, what is the total volume of air required if air is 25% O2 in terms of weight, and the relative humidity is at 40% at a temperature of 298 K? Please indicate the name of each variable that will be used in the calculation. Feel free to make assumptions if the given data are not enough.
