Question

5. Congress banned the production of the Speedy Dry Cleaning Company's dry cleaning fluid in 2000. Speedy is using a new cleaning fluid. The new dry cleaning fluid has one-sixth

the volatility of the former dry cleaning fluid (Problem 4). The density of the new fluid is 1.6220 g/mL. Assume that the amount of residue is the same as that resulting from the use of the old fluid and estimate the mass emission rate to the atmosphere in kg/mo. Because the new dry cleaning fluid is less volatile, the company will have to purchase less per year. Estimate the annual volume of dry cleaning fluid saved (in m3/y).
