Transcribed Image Text:Use the information about three gases, with the properties below to answer the
following questions.
Nitrogen (N2)
Oxygen (02)
Argon (Ar)
93.0 °C
83.0 °C
73.0 °C
M (kg/kmol)
28
32
40
Use the van der Waals equation of state and mixing rules to calculate the
temperature where 100 kmol of a mixture of argon (10 mol%), nitrogen (45
mol%) and oxygen (45 mol %) would occupy 46.27 m³, at a pressure of 6.28
MPa. It is known that the van der Waals constant for nitrogen are a=1.370
atm(m³/kmol)² and b=0.0387 m³/kmol, and for oxygen are a=1.382
atm(m³/kmol)² and b=0.03186 m³/kmol.
