Chapter 6, Problem 121IAE

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Given equation should be derived using Van der Waals equation.

Concept introduction:

Van der Waals equation is:

$\begin{array}{l}\left(\text{P+}\frac{{\text{an}}^{\text{2}}}{{\text{V}}^{\text{2}}}\right)\left(\text{V-nb}\right)\text{ = nRT}\\ \text{P = pressure}\\ \text{V = volume}\\ \text{T = temperature}\\ \text{R = universal gas constant }\\ \text{n = number of moles}\\ \text{a and b = van der Waals constants}\end{array}$

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Volume occupied by CO₂(g) at given conditions should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The ideal gas equation is,

$PV=nRT$

Where pressure is represented by P, number of mole is represented by n, volume is represented by V, universal gas constant is represented by R, and temperature is represented by T.
