I need help with my homework. Please show me the calculation.

 

### Problem Set: Gas Laws and Calculations

1. **Isothermal Compression of a Perfect Gas**
   - A perfect gas undergoes isothermal compression, reducing its volume by 2.20 dm³. The final pressure and volume of the gas are 5.04 bar and 4.65 dm³, respectively. Calculate the original pressure of the gas in:
     - (i) bar
     - (ii) atm

2. **Reaction in a Vessel**
   - A vessel of volume 22.4 dm³ contains 2.0 mol H₂ and 1.0 mol N₂ at 273.15 K initially. All the H₂ reacted with sufficient N₂ to form NH₃. Calculate the partial pressures and the total pressure of the final mixture.

3. **Properties of Air Molecules**
   - Assume that air consists of N₂ molecules with a collision diameter of 395 pm. Calculate:
     - (i) The mean speed of the molecules
     - (ii) The mean free path
     - (iii) The collision frequency in air at 1.0 atm and 25 °C.

4. **Van der Waals Gas Behavior**
   - A certain gas obeys the van der Waals equation with \( a = 0.50 \, \text{m}^6 \, \text{Pa} \, \text{mol}^{-2} \). Its volume is found to be \( 5.00 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m}^3 \, \text{mol}^{-1} \) at 273 K and 3.0 MPa. From this information, calculate the van der Waals constant \( b \). What is the compression factor for this gas at the prevailing temperature and pressure?
