Each month the Speedy Dry Cleaning Company buys 1 barrel (0.160 m³) of dry cleaning fluid. 85% of the fluid is lost to the atmosphere and the balance remains as residue to be disposed of. The density of the dry cleaning fluid is 1.6500 g/mL. Estimate the monthly mass emission rate to the atmosphere in kg/mo. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Type your numeric answer and submit

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data:

Volume of 1 barrel of dry cleaning fluid=0.160 m3

85% of fluid in barrel is lost to atmosphere and 15% is residue

Density of this fluid = 1.6500 g/ml

 

It is asked to estimate the monthly mass emission rate to the atmosphere in kg/month.
