Hi,
I’m not sure if this is the right spot, please move if it isn’t.
I trying to determine how much molecules by weight will fit in a cylinder at a certain pressure. My background is Mechanical Engineering with only chem 1 and 2. (10 years ago).
For instance, SF6. I have a cylinder with a water volume of 16,786in^3 (275L ) and working pressure of 207bar (3000psi). I want to determine how much SF6 (by weight) I can put into this cylinder at 2400psi. I assume you can use liquid density*vol of liquefied SF6 and same with the gas? Or would I use PV=nRT (but I assumed that was for gas only). How would I determine how much has been liquefied @ certain pressure/temperature?
Looking to improve my knowledge on this, so please recommend a textbook or some resources too. Thanks!
SF6
Molecular mass 146g/mol
Boiling point -63.9C
Vapor pressure: 2100 kpa (304psi)
