A rigid storage tank contains 30 (kg) of ideal hydrogen (M=2.016 kg/kmol). During a fire, heat (128.5 MJ> Mega Joules) is transferred to the tank. The initial temperature and pressure are 300 (K) and 500 (kPa), respectively. The burst pressure of tank is 1.5 MPa. Will the tank rupture? Ignore kinetic and potential effects. kJ/kmol.K. The value of universal gas constant is 8.314
