and 70°F. If the cylinder has a volume of 3 cu. ft.
Assuming methane is an ideal gas, calculate the
mass and density of methane in the cylinder
Exercise 2

 Assuming methane is at condition of example


1 (i.e. 1000 psia, 70°F, volume of 3 cu. ft.),
calculate the volume the gas would occupy at
standard conditions
Exercise 3
 A gas is made up of the following component;
25lb of methane, 3lb of ethane and 1.5lb of
propane. Express the component of the gas
in weight and mole fractions.
Exercise 4

 What is the apparent molecular weight of


the gas in 25lb of methane, 3lb of ethane
and 1.5lb of propane
Exercise 5
 What is the gas gravity of the gas in 25lb of
methane, 3lb of ethane and 1.5lb of
propane
Part II: Real Gases
Exercise 6
