Chlorine gas has a density of 0.03 lbm/ft^3 at a given temperature. How big would a tank need to be in gallons to hold 200 lbm of chlorine? Check your unit conversions with a unit converter App (ConvertPad in Droid is very good).

Answer :

Answer:

We need a tank of volume 49866.6168 gallon

Explanation:

We have given mass of chlorine m = 200 lbm

Density of chlorine [tex]d=0.03lbm/ft^3[/tex]

We know that mass = density × volume

So volume [tex]=\frac{mass}{density}=\frac{200}{0.03}=6666.66ft^3[/tex]

We know that 1 [tex]ft^3[/tex] = 7.480 gallon

So 6666.66 [tex]ft^3[/tex]  = 6666.66×7.480 = 49866.6168 gallon

So we need a tank of volume 49866.6168 gallon
