Homework #2
1. Calculate the specific weight, specific volume, and density of one mole of methane at 100°F and 120 psi absolute.
ü Calculate
ü Density

nRT
To calculate r start with P V = n R T ï V =
P
mRT
Split n into massêMwt to yield V=
Mwt P
V RT
Divide both sides by m to yield =
m Mwt P
V 1 1 RT
is so =
m r r Mwt P
Mwt P
Invert both sides to yield r=
RT
0.016 g
Substitute in values yields r=
cm3

ü Specific Weight

15.6 dyne
Multiply r by gêgc to give g=
cm3

ü Specific Volume per gram

nRT
Solve P V = n R T for V V=
P
m mRT
Substitute for n V=
Mwt Mwt P
V RT
Divide both sides by m =
m Mwt P
` V 62.7 cm3
Evaluate V= =
m g

ü Specific Volume per mole

nRT
Solve P V = n R T for V V=
P
V RT
Divide both sides by n =
n P
` V 1002.74 cm3
Evaluate V= =
n mole
