Explanation:
It is known that equation for ideal gas is as follows.
PV = nRT
The given data is as follows.
Pressure, P = 1500 psia, Temperature, T = = 104 + 460 = 564 R
Volume, V = 2.4 cubic ft, R = 10.73
Also, we know that number of moles is equal to mass divided by molar mass of the gas.
n =
m =
=
= 9.54 lb
Hence, molecular weight of the gas is 9.54 lb.
- We will calculate the density as follows.
d =
=
= 3.975
- Now, calculate the specific gravity of the gas as follows.
Specific gravity relative to air =
=
= 51.96
