A 1000-gallon tank currently contains 100.0 gallons of liquid toluene and a gas
Chapter 6, Problem 6.22(choose chapter or problem)
A 1000-gallon tank currently contains 100.0 gallons of liquid toluene and a gas saturated with toluene vapor at 85F 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 TF. Calculate T.

QUESTION:
A 1000-gallon tank currently contains 100.0 gallons of liquid toluene and a gas saturated with toluene vapor at 85F 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 TF. Calculate T.
ANSWER:a) Assuming that the tank experiences a negligible pressure change (1 atm above and 1 atm below) and that all of the liquid evaporates, the qauntity of toluene (in lbm) that will enter the atmosphere is calculated as follows:
100 g
