(a) Consider that 25.0 g of CH4(g) is contained in a sealed 2.0-L container at 30°C. What would be the pressure if the gas were: (i) Acting as an ideal gas? (ii) Acting as a van der Waals gas? (iii) Obeying the virial equation but only when the first two terms are significant? (at 30°C, B for CH4(g) = -43.9 cm³.mol-¹)

4. What pressure is exerted by 25.0 g of neon gas at temperature of 25 °C if the original temperature was 50.0 °C at 1.00 atm?
Water vapor is a polar gas molecule. Because of this it has fairly strong interactions with itself in the gas phase that can make it behave less like an ideal gas that other gases under similar conditions. What is the difference between the calculated pressures found using the ideal gas law and found using the van der Waals gas equation for 1 mole of water vapor at -100°C in a 1.00L container. (van der Waals constants for water are a = 5.464 L2 atm mol-2, b = 0.03049 L mol-1) i atm
In the the industrial synthesis of methanol from synthesis gas, gaseous carbon monoxide and hydrogen react via the appropriate catalysts to produce the gaseous product (balanced chemical equation below). C O ( g ) + 2 H 2 ( g ) → C H 3 O H ( g ) If the reactant gases are combined in a 1,703 L container at 247oC, and the initial partial pressures of CO and H2 are 11.7 atm and 14.4 atm, respectively, determine the maximum partial pressure of CH3OH that can be produced.
7.) A glass bulb contains an unknown gas. The gas is either CO2, SO2, C2H6, or CH3F. Here is some data that was collected for this gas sample. Use the data to identify the unknown gas.

(a) Using the Lennard-Jones parameters, determine the van der Waals radius for xenon. (ɛ and o for xenon are 1.77 kJ•mol-1 and 4.10 Å, respectively.) 4.0 2.05 Å (b) Use this radius to determine the fraction of the volume occupied by 1.22 mol of xenon at 25°C and 1.00 atm. 4.0 26.42
Calculate the pressure of a 14.6 L container with 60.6 moles of hydrogen, at -14.5 degree C, assuming ideal conditions, and then calculate it assuming the gas is not behaving ideally. Compare the two values, and determine explain if the ideal gas law is appropriate to determine the pressure under these conditions. The van der waal constants for hydrogen are a=0.244(atm*L2 )/mol2 and b=0.0266 L/mol.
5.69 You want to store 165 g of CO2 gas in a 12.5-L tank at room temperature (25°C). Calculate the pressure the gas would have using (a) the ideal gas law and (b) the van der Waals equation. (For CO2, a = 3.59 atm L^2/mol^2 and b = 0.0427 L/mol.)
A sample of magnesium metal reacts completely with an excess of hydrocholoric acid: Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) --> MgCl₂(aq) + H₂(g) The hydrogen gas produced is collected over water at 28.0 °C. The volume of the gas is 52 L, and the total pressure in the gas collection vessel is 1.02 atm. Calculate the mass of magnesium metal that reacted in grams. (Vapor pressure of water at 28.0 °C = 28.2 mmHg) Just give the number. The assumption is the value is in grams.
(b) As is a well-known fact that chlorofluorocarbons (such as CC12F2) effect the depletion of the ozone layer. The use of alternatives, such as CH3CH2F (g), for the chlorofluorocarbons, has made a significant improvement to the problem.
