if i remember correctly from o-chem class 10 years ago: GC can tell you how many components you have and the relative amounts MS can tell you the mass of those components and some structure info so long as you know what by-products to expect this should/could be enough with NMR you...

Unfortunately, it's hard enough for US students to land internships in their own country...especially in a field like nuclear engineering which has had a huge increase (on the order of 3 fold) in the number students in recent years. There is a lot of competition for those internships and entry...

Since this is dry (completely vapor state) you could model with the ideal gas law PV=nRT since it is isothermal T is does not change, therefore: n,R, and T are all constant and the right side of the equation is the same before and after compression, so P1V1=P2V2 V2 = (P1V1)/P2 ...
