Sorry to hear about that, either way, your explanations are most helpful! :)

Hello, Thank you very much for your detailed calculation. $$V_{85}=\frac{(1)(0.082)(273+85)}{0.9711}=31.2 \ liters$$ seems to contain a small error or typo $$V_{85}=\frac{(1)(0.082)(273+85)}{0.9711}=30.2 \ liters$$ is the correct number. So the the volume ratio is 12.9/30.2 =0.43 instead of...

Thank you for very much for your detailed answer. Regarding the second approximation, the mass in the bag does remain constant. However, the mass in the gas phase does decrease due to the water condensing. Therefore, I would think that in this case the density ratios cannot be used to calculate...

It is just a thought experiment and ideal gas laws will suffice for the accuracy required.

Here are my calculations, what are your thoughts?

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I am aware of this. What shrinkage did you calculate for the question I posted?

TL;DR Summary: How much does a bag with 100 % water saturated air shrink in volume when it is cooled? A bag filled with 100% water saturated air at 85 degrees C (inside and outside) at a pressure of 738 torr inside and outside is cooled to 50 degrees C (inside and outside bag) and the pressure...

Hi there, Thank you for welcoming into your community. I completed a five year electrical control engineering college, then studied chemical engineering followed by a PhD in analytical chemistry. Since the last seven years I work in a role that involves chemical engineering and process...
