Assume as a basis, 1 mole of fuel.
0.85 (CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) = CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g))
0.10(C2H6 (g) + 3.5 O2(g) = 2 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(g))
——————————————————————
0.85 CH4(g) + 0.10 C2H6(g) + 2.05 O2(g) = 1.05 CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g)
1 = CH4, 2 = C2H6, 3 = O2, 4 = CO2, 5 = H2O 6 = N2

b)For complete combustion of 1 mole of fuel and 50% excess air, the exit
gas will contain the following numbers of moles:
n30.5 2.05⋅mol:= n31.025 mol=Excess O2

c) 6 moles of CO2 are produced for every mole of glucose consumed. Use
molecular mass to get ratio of mass CO2 produced per mass of glucose.
