Each month the speedy dry-cleaning company buys 1 barrel (0.160 m3) of dry-cleaning fluid. The amount of the fluid lost to the atmosphere is about 232 kg/month and the remaining remains as residue to be disposed of. The density of the dry-cleaning fluid is 1.5940 g/mL. Draw a mass-balance diagram and estimate the monthly mass emission percentage to the atmosphere.
