Determining residual concentration of heptane gas


Assignment:

We are to assume a 129 m3 closed tank. The tank previously contained heptane and therefore has residual vapor. The vapor pressure is given and known as 40 mm Hg . The temperature is given as 25 degrees C.

Q1) Is there a way to determine what the residual concentration of heptane gas would be in this closed container?
Q2) Would you assume that the total enclosed container space was 100% saturated with heptane?
Q3) If a hole was drilled in the top of the tank, how would one calculate the vapor loss at stated pressure and temp?

Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
