A rigid vessel having a volume of 0.05 m³ initially contains carbon dioxide gas at temperature 25°C and pressure p. Ethylene gas is allowed to flow into the tank until a mixture consisting of 20% carbon dioxide and 80% ethylene (molar basis) exits within the tank at a temperature of 25°C and a pressure of 100 bar. Determine the pressure p, in bar, using Kay's rule together with the generalized compressibility chart. Answer: 46.6 bar
