Question

you are assigned the tank of setting a gas storage tank for storinmethane at a research station in antartica. the maximum allowablepressure, as specified by teh manufacturer is 9200kpa; yourinstruction say that, for safty reasons, the pressure inside thetank should never exceed 90% of the maximum allowable pressure.this tank will be placed inside a shed, so it will not be subjectto the extremes of temperature that occer, but hte "average"temperature in teh shed will be minus 6.40 C. at minus 6.40 C and90% of hte maximum allowable pressure, the tank contains 436.7 kgof Ne. caluclate the amount (in kg) of CH4 that the tank can holdunder these conditions. refer to the generalized compressibiliutychart; show a comploeter, stop by step set up and explain yourlogic complelety.
M( g mole -1) Ne= 20.18    CH4= 16.0426
Tc(K)               NE=44.4    CH4= 190.53
Pc(MPa)           NE= 2.760   CH4= 4.604

Explanation / Answer

Mass of neon = 436.7 kg = 436700 g
