100 kg of a gaseous mixture occupying 80 m’ at 68 °F. This gas was analyzed and found
to have the following mole composition: CO2 (M.wt = 44 kg/kgmol) 15.0%, CO (M.wt.
= 28 kg/kgmol) 5.0%, CH, (M.wt = 16 kg/kgmol) 25%, H2 (M.wt. = 2 kg/kgmol) 10%
and N2 (M.wt = 28 kg/kgmol) 45%.
a- Determine the total pressure exerted by this amount of gas in kPa.
b- Determine the partial pressure of each component in psia.
c-What is the specific gravity of this gas relative to air (M. wt=29 kg/kgmol) at 77 °F
and 100 kPa.
