AI Thread Summary
To calculate the amounts of styrene in both the vapor and liquid phases, one needs the mass of styrene, specific volumes of liquid and vapor at the given temperature and pressure, and the tank's total volume. The tank is approximately 65% full with liquid styrene, which is about 50,000 gallons. To find the volume of vapor styrene, the empty volume above the liquid styrene must be considered. Utilizing Raoult's and Henry's laws can provide additional insights for the calculations. Accurate calculations will depend on these parameters and principles.

Guys..I once again turn to your help.

There is a certain amount of styrene in a tank at a certain temperature and pressure. i have vapor pressure for styrene at that temp. Can I calculate the amount of styrene in vapor phase and the amount in liquid phase? If so, how?

Thanks.

I can calculate the mass of liquid styrene. The tank is 50,000 gallons with about 65% full with liquid styrene. Do we need the volume of vapor styrene? or just the empty volume above the styrene. I want to calculate the volume of vapor styrene..so I obviously don't have that.
 
Check for Raoult and Henry's law, this will help you!

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
