Carbon tetra chloride is to be removed from a polymer solution by bubbling dry air through it at 297 K. The resulting mixture has % relative humidity of 70. It is required to remove 90% of carbon tetra chloride present by compressing to a suitable pressure and cooling to 283 K. What this pressure should be? Data: Vapor pressure of CCl4 at 297 K = 12.2 kN/m^2 and at 283 K = 6 kN/m^2
