A steel cylinder containing compressed air is stored in a fermentation laboratory ready to provide aeration gas to a small-scale bioreactor. The capacity of the cylinder is 48 liters, the absolute pressure is 0.35 MPa and the temperature is 22°C. One day in mid-summer when the air conditioning breaks down, the temperature in the laboratory rises to 33°C and the valve at the top of the cylinder is accidentally left open. Estimate the proportion of air that will be lost.
