a tank contains helium molar mass 4kgkmol at 1MPa and 20 deg
a tank contains helium (molar mass= 4kg/kmol) at 1MPa and 20 degrees C.
a) if the volume of the tank is 4m^3, determine the mass of the helium in the tank
b) if the volume of the tank is 4m^3 determine the mole of helium in the tank
Solution
Pressure = 1 MPa
Temperature = 293.15 K
Molar Mass = 4 kg / kmol
Volume of Tank = 4 m3
For ideal gas ,
PV =nRT
n = PV/RT
= (1 MPa x 4 m3 ) / (8.314 J/mol K x 293.15 K )
= 1641.2 moles
So, mass of helium = 1.6412 kmoles x 4 kg / kmol
= 6.5648 kg
Moles of Helium = 1.6412 kmoles
