Question
Methane, which constitutes the majority of natural gas, is sometimes stored in condensation tanks in an oil and gas field. If the vaporirzed methane above the liquid is at a temperature of 28.9˚C on a hot summer day with a density of 2.05 kg/m3, at what pressure in Pascals would the gas be? The specific gas constant for methane is 518 J/(kg K).
