A gaseous mixture of propane, acetylene and CO2 is burnt in excess of air. Total 4800 kJ heat is evolved. The total volume of CO2 (g) after combustion is 224 liters at NTP. The total evolved heat is used to perform two separate process :
(i) Vapourising 87.5% of water (liquid) obtained in the process of burning the original mixture.
(ii) Forming 3808 liters ethylene measured at STP from its elements.
