Question

1)

9.172 mol sample of argon gas is maintained in a 0.8485 L container at 304.5 K. What is the pressure in atm calculated using the van der Waals' equation for Ar gas under these conditions? For Ar, a = 1.345 L2atm/mol2 and b = 3.219×10-2 L/mol.

2)

According to the ideal gas law, a 1.092 mol sample of oxygen gas in a 1.698 L container at 275.0 K should exert a pressure of 14.51 atm. What is the percent difference between the pressure calculated using the van der Waals' equation and the ideal pressure? For O2 gas, a = 1.360 L2atm/mol2 and b = 3.183×10-2 L/mol.
3)

According to the ideal gas law, a 9.702 mol sample of nitrogen gas in a 0.8232 L container at 500.8 K should exert a pressure of 484.3 atm. What is the percent difference between the pressure calculated using the van der Waals' equation and the ideal pressure? For N2 gas, a = 1.390 L2atm/mol2 and b = 3.910×10-2 L/mol.
