how to use mass fraction to find volume fraction for liquids?
Madhur L.
A 1-m^3 tank holds a two-phase liquid-vapor mixture of carbon dioxide at -17°C. The quality of the mixture is 80.0%. For saturated carbon dioxide at -17°C, vf = 0.9827 x 10^-3 m^3/kg and vg = 1.756 x 10^-2 m^3/kg. Determine the masses of saturated liquid and saturated vapor, each in kg. What is the percent of the total volume occupied by saturated liquid?
Lottie A.
The concentration of a dissolved or suspended substance in a liquid is commonly expressed as the ratio of the mass of the substance to the mass of the mixture of the liquid and the substance. The concentration unit of parts per million (ppm) is an example of such a ratio. Determine the relationship between the mass ratio, the specific gravity of the pure liquid, and the specific gravity of the mixture.
