Question

90 g glucose is filled in a container at 10 atm, if the volume of container is 2 liter, what is the temperature of glucose (z = 1.5)?

(a) 25.4^oC

(b) 51.7^oC

(c) 76.9^oC

(d) 103.5^oC

The question was asked by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

My question is based upon Compressibility topic in chapter Recycle, Bypass, Purge, Ideal Gases and Real Gases of Basic Chemical Engineering

Answer 1

Right choice is (b) 51.7^oC

Explanation: T = PV/znR = 10*2/(1.5*0.5*0.0821) = 324.8 K = 51.7^oC.
