a) (2 points). A compressor is used to provide compressed air for a shop. If the air is taken on a rainy day when the atmospheric pressure is 760mmHg, the temperature is 20C, and the air is saturated with water vapor (i.e. the water vapor is in equilibrium with liquid water), what is the mole fraction of water vapor in the air? Treat the air as an ideal gas mixture. Show all work. Assume the Antoine equation parameters for water are A=7.97,B=1670, and C=228. b) (2 points). If the saturated air will be compressed to a pressure of 100psig at 20C, how many grams of liquid water will need to be drained per 1 mole of compressed air? Note: assume 1 psi corresponds to 52mmHg. Show all work.
