Question: Problem 1 ( 2 5 points ) : A 3 0 0 L tank containing a highly flammable gas leaked in a completely closed storage

Problem 1(25 points):
A 300L tank containing a highly flammable gas leaked in a completely closed storage room of size 4mx4m3m(LWH) at 25C and 1atm. Find:
A) Air to fuel ratio in the closed storage room?
B) Can there be a "complete" explosion? Hint: find the air to fuel to ratio to cause a stoichiometric combustion (ICA problem). If value of Part B > Part A= no explosion; Part A=21%O279%N2245gmole24.5L25C1atmO2B art A= Explosion!
Assume:
Air composition: 21%O2 and 79%N2
The molecular weight of the gas is245gmole.
1 mole of gas occupies 24.5Lof volume at25C and 1atm.
1 mole of gas stoichiometrically needs 10 mole ofO2to completely combust.
