The critical point of n-pentane is at 460.6 K,3.374MPa and 0.3032 m3/kmol. At 100∘C, the vapour pressure of n-pentane is 590.6kPa. The densities of coexisting vapour and liquid n-pentane at 100∘C are 16.26 kg/m3 and 537.7 kg/m3, respectively. One hundred kilograms of n-pentane occupy 1.00 m3 at 100∘C. (a) What is the pressure?
