A total of 2 moles of n-hexane gas stored in a tube having a pressure of 99.159 bar are stored at 25°C. a. Calculate the compression value (Z) and the volume of the gas if it is assumed that the n-hexane gas is an ideal gas! b. Calculate the compression value (Z) and the molar volume of the gas if the gas is not ideal! (Van der waals constant a = 2.29 L2 bar mol-2 and b = 0.0428 L mol-1) c. Explain why the compression value (Z) in questions a and b is different!
