Question: Dual - Mode Sorption. Based upon the dual mode sorption parameters shown below for CH 4 and n - C 4 H 1 0 sorption

Dual-Mode Sorption. Based upon the dual mode sorption parameters shown below for CH4 and n-C4H10 sorption into
poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne)(PTMSP), calculate:
A. the gas concentration, in units of cm3(STP)/cm3(polymer), of pure CH4 at a fugacity of 10 atm and 35oC.
B. the gas concentration, in units of cm3(STP)/cm3(polymer), of pure n-C4H10 at a fugacity of 0.5 atm and 35oC.
C. the concentrations of CH4 and n-C4H10 in the polymer when the polymer is exposed to a gas mixture in which
the CH4 fugacity is 10 atm and the n-C4H10 fugacity is 0.5 atm.
Note: The dual mode parameters kD and b, shown below, are based on the dual mode model written in terms of fugacity Dual-Mode Sorption. Based upon the dual mode sorption parameters shown below for CH4 and n-C4H10 sorption into

Note: The dual mode parameters kD and b, shown below, are based on the dual mode model written in terms of fugacity
(rather than pressure) since, particularly in the gas mixture case, the ideal gas model is a poor assumption,
