The van der Waals equation compensates for non-ideal behavior of gases by taking into account intermolecular forces and the volume of the gas molecules. For CO, a = 1.505 L'atm/mol² and b = 0.03985 L/mol. Use the van der Waals equation to determine the pressure, in atmospheres, of 1.90 moles of CO gas in a 3.00 L flask at 25.0 °C. Remember the gas constant, R, is 0.08206 L.atm/mol.K. 1 4 7 +/- . 258

For many purposes we can treat methane (CH4) as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of -161. °C. Suppose the temperature of a sample of methane gas is raised from 99.0 °C to 118.0 °C, and at the same time the pressure is decreased by 5.0%. Does the volume of the sample increase, decrease, or stay the same? If you said the volume increases or decreases, calculate the percentage change in the volume. Round your answer to the nearest percent. O increase O decrease O stays the same % ☐ x10 X
