Question
What are the ratios of the critical pressure, temperature, and density to the stagnation pressure, temperature, and density for methane?
Step 1
First, we need to find the critical properties of methane. The critical temperature (Tc), critical pressure (Pc), and critical density (Ļc) of methane are: Tc = 190.6 K Pc = 45.99 bar Ļc = 162.7 kg/mĀ³ Show more…

A bacterial culture isolated from sewage produced $35.5$ $\mathrm{mL}$ of methane, $\mathrm{CH}_{4}$, at $31^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $753 \mathrm{mmHg}$. What is the volume of this methane at standard temperature and pressure $\left(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C},\right.$, $760 \mathrm{mmHg}) ?$
Using Figure 5.15 (a) estimate the density of methane gas at 100 atm. (b) compare the value obtained in (a) with that calculated from the ideal gas law. (c) determine the pressure at which the calculated density and the actual density of methane will be the same.
