What is Liquid Ethylene Density?

  • Definition of Ethylene and Its Liquid State
  • Importance of Density in Chemistry
  • Physical Properties of Liquid Ethylene
Ethylene (C2H4) is a colorless, flammable gas at room temperature, but it can be liquefied at low temperatures. The density of liquid ethylene is a key property in chemical engineering, affecting storage, transport, and process calculations.
Why Density Matters

Practical Examples

  • Calculating storage tank volume for liquid ethylene.
  • Determining mass from a given volume of liquid ethylene.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Calculator

  • Inputting Temperature Correctly
  • Choosing the Right Unit
  • Interpreting the Results
To use the calculator, simply enter the temperature in Celsius or Kelvin. The calculator will automatically convert units if needed and provide the density in both g/cm³ and kg/m³.
User-Friendly Interface

Usage Examples

  • Input -120°C to get density in g/cm³ and kg/m³.
  • Switch to Kelvin and enter 150K for the same calculation.

Real-World Applications of Liquid Ethylene Density

  • Industrial Storage and Transport
  • Process Engineering Calculations
  • Research and Laboratory Analysis
Knowing the density of liquid ethylene is essential for safe storage, efficient transport, and accurate process design in the chemical industry.
Industry Relevance

Industry Examples

  • Designing a pipeline for liquid ethylene.
  • Calculating the mass of ethylene in a storage tank.

Common Misconceptions and Correct Methods

  • Assuming Constant Density
  • Ignoring Temperature Effects
  • Using Incorrect Units
A common mistake is to assume the density of liquid ethylene is constant. In reality, it varies significantly with temperature. Always use the correct formula and units for accurate results.
Avoiding Calculation Errors

Mistake Examples

  • Entering temperature in Kelvin but not converting to Celsius.
  • Using density values outside the valid temperature range.

Mathematical Derivation and Examples

  • Empirical Formula for Density
  • Unit Conversion Steps
  • Worked Calculation Examples
The density of liquid ethylene is calculated using the empirical formula: ρ = 0.568 - 0.0007 × (T - (-104)), where T is the temperature in Celsius. For Kelvin, convert first: T(°C) = T(K) - 273.15.
Sample Calculation

Calculation Examples

  • At -120°C: ρ = 0.568 - 0.0007 × (-120 - (-104)) = 0.5578 g/cm³.
  • At 150K: T(°C) = 150 - 273.15 = -123.15°C; ρ = 0.5521 g/cm³.
