A paint shop buys 52,000 liters of car paint based on VOC. In one year, they applied 50,800 liters of same paint onto the products and the remainder turned out to become a waste. Assuming the waste disposed in an air-tight container and none accumulates in the shop or anywhere else, a. Determine the mass of VOCs entered into the atmosphere (in kg/year) if the density of paint is 8.30 lb/gallon and 75% by weight of VOCs are present in the paint. b. It was later found that the air-tight waste container had a leak. What will be the maximum mass of VOCs would have entered into the atmosphere in the same year?

Question
Transcribed Image Text:A paint shop buys 52,000 liters of car paint based on VOC. In one year,
they applied 50,800 liters of same paint onto the products and the
remainder turned out to become a waste. Assuming the waste disposed in
an air-tight container and none accumulates in the shop or anywhere else,
a. Determine the mass of VOCs entered into the atmosphere (in
kg/year) if the density of paint is 8.30 lb/gallon and 75% by weight
of VOCs are present in the paint.
b. It was later found that the air-tight waste container had a leak.
What will be the maximum mass of VOCs would have entered into
the atmosphere in the same year?
