CALCULATIONS OF PRESSURE, VOLUME AND TEMPERATURE USING IDEAL

Its necessary to store 1 kgmole of methane at a temperature of


50 o C and a pressure of 600 atm. What is the volume of the vessel
that must be provided?
Solution:
n = 1 Kmol
T = 50 o C = 323 K
P= 600 atm
V= nRT/P = (1* 0.082*323)/600
= 0.044 m3

Calculate the volume of 15 kg of chlorine at a pressure of 0.9 bar


and 293 K assuming ideal gas law.
Solution:
W = 15 kg
n = W/M =15/71 =0.211 kmol T = 293 K
1 bar = 0.98 atm
P= 0.9 bar= 0.88 atm
V= nRT/P = (0.211* 0.082*293)/0.88
= 5.76m3

What is the value of gas constant R .

What will be the % Na2O content of lye containing 80% caustic


soda.
Basis : 100 Kg of lye
Weight of NaOH = 80 Kg

2 NaOH Na 2 O + H2O
2. kmol NaOH = 1 kmol of Na 2 O 80
Kg of NaOH = 62 Kg of Na 2 O
80 Kg of NaOH = (80*62)/80=62
kg Weight of Na 2 O content of lye =
62
Kg
Weight % of Na 2 O content of lye
=(62/100)*100=62

Define weight fraction and mole


fraction .If 2.925 g of NaCl and
19.1 g of sugar are dissolved in
100 ml water .calculate the
number
of moles of NaCl and C12H22O11.

Mass fraction (weight fraction) is the ratio of the mass of one


component of a solution to the total mass of the solution.
Mole fraction is a unit of concentration, defined to be equal
to the
number of moles of a component divided by the total number of
moles of a solution:
W NaCl=2.925 g
nNacl=WNacl/M=2.925/58.5=0.05 mol
Wsugar = 19.1 g
n sugar = W sugar/M = 19.1/342 = 0.05 mol

Calculate the molarity of solution prepared by dissolving 34.2 g of


sucrose C12H22O11 in water to give 400 ml solution.
Solution:
W sucrose = 34.2 g
V= 400 ml = 400*10 -3 litre
Gm moles of sucrose = weight of sucrose/M= 34.2/342=0.1 mol
Molarity = gm moles of sucrose/Volume of solution in litre
= 0.1/ (400*10 -3 )
=0.25

Find the composition of air in weight percentage.


Air composition Oxygen = 21 kmol Nitrogen = 79 kmol
Weight Percentage
Weight of oxygen = No of moles of oxygen * Molecular
weight
= 21 * 32 = 672 kg
Weight of Air = No of moles of air * Molecular weight
= 79 * 28 =2212 kg
Weight percentage of air = weight of air/Total weight
= (2212/2884)*100=76.69

230g of NaCl is present in 1 litre solution at 25 o C .Density of


solution is 1.148 g/cc .calculate the composition in weight
percent.
Solution:

W NaCl =230 g
V= 1 lit = 10 -3 m 3 T= 25 o C = 298 K
ρ= 1.148 g/cc= 1.148*10^6 g/ m 3
W soln= V soln * ρ= 10 -3 * 1.148*10^6 =1 1 4 8 g
W soln = W NaCl +W H2O

W H2O =W soln - W NaCl

=1148- 230
= 918 g
Weight percentage of NaCl = W NaCl/ W soln =(230/1148 )*100=20
Weight percentage of H2O =W H2O / W soln =(918/1148)*100 = 80

Assuming the applicability of the ideal gas law. Calculate the maximum

temperature to which 10 lb of T2, enclosed in 30 cu.ft. chamber.

Solution:-

Volume at S.C. = 0.307  359

P2 V2 = 128.1 Cu.ft.
T2  T 1 
T1 V1

= 273  150  30
14.7
128.1
Temperature at 30 Cu.ft. = 652K (or) 379C
