So:
1. specific gravity: calculate the molecular weight of gas from above table,
and then calculate specific gravity using the following equation.
MWgas 25.302
g 0.873
MWair 28.970
2. (1) step 1: calculate pseudo-critical T and P from the table above.

step2: look for correction factor for acid gas from Chart #8 in GraderFigures.pdf:
e= 24
step 5:
compressibility factor can be found from Chart#7 in GraderFigures.pdf (Standing and Katz chart):

5. viscosity:
step 1: look for viscosity at 1 atm from chart #13a in GraderFigures.pdf:
at 212 deg F and z 0.835: 1 = 0.0119 cp
