Property PredicCon Task • Predict the molar volume of ethane at two condiCons:
– CondiCon 1: P = 1 atm, T = 573.15 K – CondiCon 2: P = 20 atm, T = 298.15 K
• Is the Ideal Gas Law a reasonable assumpCon?
CondiCon 1: V = 47,031.23 mL/mol CondiCon 2: V = 1,223.27 mL/mol
• More rigorous EquaCon of State (EoS) models may be more appropriate depending on the system condiCons.
• Use Aspen to predict the volume for the two condiCons above using an appropriate EoS model.

Summary of PredicCons
19
• Molar volumes [mL/mol]
• Similar results for CondiCon 1. • For CondiCon 2, Ideal Gas Law overesCmates V by 23% when
compared to PENG-‐ROB. Why? – High pressure, “low” temperature è intermolecular interacCons are
not negligible anymore. Need more rigorous model for more accurate predicCons.
