Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Pressure in tank that has volume of $10.0\text{ L}$ with $25{\text{ mol O}}_2$ at $25°\text{C}$ has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Real gases consist of atoms or molecules that have intermolecular attractions as well as repulsions. These gases deviate from ideal gases in terms of intermolecular forces. Such gases obey van der Waals equation. Van der Waals equation is as follows:

  $\left(P+a\frac{n^2}{V^2}\right)\left(V-nb\right)=nRT$
