- Define Newton’s Law of Cooling. Then name at least three real-world situations where Newton’s Law of Cooling would be applied.arrow_forwardVan der Waals Equation In Exercise 18 at the end of Section 2.3, we discussed the ideal gas law, which shows the relationship among volume V, pressure p, and temperature T for a fixed amount 1 mole of a gas. But chemists believe that in many situations, the van der Waals equation gives more accurate results. If we measure temperature T in kelvins, volume V in liters, and pressure p in atmosphere 1 atm is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere at sea level, then the relationship for carbon dioxide is given by p=0.082TV0.0433.592V2atm What volume does this equation predict for 1 mole of carbon dioxide at 500 kelvins and 100 atm?Suggestion: Consider volumes ranging from 0.1 to 1 liter.arrow_forward
