Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Determine the degrees of freedom exist for the system.
Concept introduction:
Gibbs Phase Rule,
The Gibbs Phase Rule is defined as the number of degrees of freedom in an equilibrium system, this is calculated using the number of separate phases and the number of chemical constituents in the closed system.
The degree of freedom (F) is given by the equation as,
Where, C = distinct compounds involved in the system, P = number of phases present in the system
(b)
Interpretation:
Estimate whether the given constitutes in the vessel are explosive.
Concept introduction:
Antoine equation
Antoine equations describe the relationshipbetween vapor pressure and temperature for pure components. This is a semi-empirical relationship.
