) A 1000-gallon tank currently contains 100.0 gallons of liquid toluene and a gas saturated with toluene vapor at 85°F and 1 atm. (a) What quantity of toluene (lbm) will enter the atmosphere when the tank is filled and the gas displaced? (b) Suppose that 90% of the displaced toluene is to be recovered by compressing the displaced gas to a total pressure of 5 atm and then cooling it isobarically to a temperature T(°F). Calculate T.

Respuesta :

Answer:

A) m[tex]_{T}[/tex] = 0.3025 * 0.0476 * 92.13 = 1.327 Ibm

B) T= 63.32°F

Explanation:

Given data:

1000 gallon tank currently contains 100.0 gallons of liquid toluene

and A gas saturated with toluene vapor at 85°F and 1 atm

A) Calculate quantity of toluene ( Ibm ) that will enter the atmosphere when the tank is filled

m[tex]_{T}[/tex] = [tex]n_{gas} * Y_{T} * M_{T}[/tex]

[tex]n_{gas}[/tex] (total mole of gas) = 0.3025 Ib-mole  ( calculated using : [tex]\frac{PV}{RT}[/tex] )

[tex]Y_{T}[/tex] (mole fraction of toluene) = 0.0476 ( calculated using [tex]\frac{P_{T} }{P}[/tex] )

M[tex]_{T}[/tex] = 92.13 Ibm/Ib-mole

therefore:  m[tex]_{T}[/tex] = 0.3025 * 0.0476 * 92.13 = 1.327 Ibm

B) using Antoine equation to solve for T

Antoine equation : [tex]log_{10} (P_{T} ) = A - \frac{B}{T+C}[/tex]

PT( partial pressure ) = 18.95 ( calculated using : [tex]y_{tb} * P[/tex] )

A = 6.95805

B = 1346.773

T = ?

C = 219.693

to calculate T make T the subject the subject of the equation

T + 219.693 = 1346.773 / 5.68044

∴ T = 17.40°C

convert T to Fahrenheit

T = 1.8 * 17.40 +32

  = 63.32°F
