Question
Transcribed Image Text:Current Attempt in Progress
A 2.00 x 10-liter storage tank was taken out of service to repair and reattach a feed line damaged in a collision with a tanker.
The tank was drained and then opened several days later for a welder to enter and perform the required work.
No one realized, however that a large volume of liquid nonane (C,H20) remained in a collection sump at the bottom of the tank after
the draining had been completed.
Nonane has a lower explosion limit of 0.80 mole% and an upper explosion limit of 2.90 mole % (ie., nonane-air mixtures at 1 atm can
explode when exposed to a spark or flame if the nonane mole fraction is between the two given values).
Physical Property Tables

Vapor Pressure
Use the Antoine equation (6.1-4) to estimate the temperature at which the system would have to equilibrate in order for the gas
in the tank to be at the lower explosion limit (P-1 atm).
