Question:

Liquids that boil at relatively low temperatures are often stored as liquids under their vapor pressures, which at ambient temperature can be quite large. Thus, n-butane stored as a liquid/vapor system is at a pressure of 2.581 bar for a temperature of 300 K. Large-scale storage (>50 m3) of this kind is sometimes done in spherical tanks. Suggest two reasons why.
