6. A high-pressure natural gas tank is at 3600 psi. The tank contains 4.98 mol of methane ($CH_4$) and 0.66 mol of ethane ($C_2H_6$). What is the partial pressure (in kPa) of each of the component gases in the tank? Show all work (Formal method). (5 marks)

Step 1
Total moles = moles of methane + moles of ethane = 4.98 mol + 0.66 mol = 5.64 mol Show more…

The contents of a tank of natural gas at 1.20 atm is analyzed. The analysis showed the following mole percents: 88.6% CH4, 8.9% C2H6, and 2.5% C3H8. What is the partial pressure of each gas in the tank?
A 30 percent (by mass) ethane and 70 percent methane mixture is to be blended in a $100-\mathrm{m}^{3}$ tank at $130 \mathrm{kPa}$ and $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. If the tank is initially evacuated, to what pressure should ethane be added before methane is added? $$ \begin{aligned} &\begin{array}{c} 70 \% \mathrm{CH}_{4} \\ 30 \% \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6} \end{array}\\ &\text { (by mass) }\\ &100 \mathrm{~m}^{3}\\ &130 \mathrm{kPa}, 25^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \end{aligned} $$
Natural gas is piped from the well at 300 K and 400 kPa. The gas contains 93.0 mol% methane, 4.5 mol% ethane, and the rest nitrogen. Calculate the following: a) The partial pressure of nitrogen b) The pure component volume of ethane in 10 m3 of the gas c) The density at standard conditions in kg/m3 d) The density of the gas as piped in kg/m3 e) The average molecular weight of the gas f) The composition in weight percent
