Question

Butane is a common fuel used in cigarette lighters and camping stoves. Normally supplied in metal containers under pressure, the fuel exists as a mixture of liquid and gas, so high temperatures may cause the container to explode. At 25.08C, the vapor pressure of butane is 2.3 atm. What is the pressure in the container at 135°C (ΔH°vap ) = 24.3 kJ/mol?

Answer 1

Pressure of Butane in the container at 135°C = 1.07 atm

Given:

The H°vap of butane is 24.3 kJ/mol.

starting out at 25 °C

Temperature at the end: 135 °C

2.3 atm of pressure

To Find:

The container's pressure

The perpendicular force per unit area, also known as the stress at a point within a confined fluid, is known as pressure in the physical sciences.

Equation of Clausius-Clapeyron

P2 = 1.07 atm and ln (P2/2.3 atm)

= - 24.3*110/8.31

The pressure in the container at 135°C (ΔH°vap ) is 1.07 atm
