An engineer is designing a new tank to hold hydrogen gas for use in an experimental vehicle’s fuel system.
The tank is to be made out of a special metal alloy that is much less dense than steel. The engineer needs to know whether or not the alloy will be strong enough
to hold a sufficient quantity of hydrogen under pressure. The specifications call for 1.20 x 10^3 L of hydrogen at normal atmospheric pressure, 101 kPa to be compressed into a 40.0 L tank made of light alloy. The alloy can readily withstand pressures up to
5050 kPa. Assuming constant temperature, calculate the pressure that will exist in a filled tank. Predict whether the alloy will be able to hold the hydrogen safely.
