Question
An instrumental for the analysis of trace hydrocarbons in air, or in the products of combustion uses a flame ionization detector. The flame in this device is fueled by mixture of 40% (vol.) hydrogen and 60%(vol)helium. The fuel mixture is contrained in a 42.8-liter tank at 1500psig and 298K. The atmospheric pressure is 1000kPa.
What is the partial pressure of each constituent in the tank and the total mass of the mixture. Assume Ideal gas behavior for the mixture.

The power goes out in your apartment (volume = 150 m3) at night, so you decide to light a few candles. These candles have a combined particle emission rate of E = 2.0 mg/h. Your apartment has a ventilation flow of 1.5 m3/min and the particles have a first order loss rate (due to deposition, which acts similar to a reaction) of 0.25 h−1, so: Write the differential equation and define the source and loss terms. Calculate the values for the source and loss terms and rewrite the differential equation with these values. What is the steady state particle concentration in your house (in μg/m3)? Write the time-varying solution to this problem and calculate the particle concentration after 1 hour of candle-burning (in μg/m3).
