Chapter 5, Problem 5.86PAE
88 Liquid oxygen for use as a rocket fuel can be produced by cooling dry air to −183°C, where the O2
condenses. How many liters of dry air at 25°C and 750 torr would need to be processed to produce 150 L of liquid O2 at −183°C? (The mole fraction of oxygen in dry air is 0.21, and the density of liquid oxygen is 1.14g/mL.)
