1. Butane (MW=58), is a type of hydrocarbon commonly used as fuel for portable stoves. The gas is held in a 20 Liter cylindrical container. Butane is stored initially at a pressure of 15 bar and at room temperature of 30°C. If the pressure limit for the container, (also known as bursting pressure) is 120 bar, determine the maximum temperature allowed (in Kelvin) for the gas inside, also, determine the mass (in kg) of butane.
