According to the ideal gas law, a 9.556 mol sample of argon gas in a 0.8165 L container at 503.4 K should exert a pressure of 483.5 atm. What is the percent difference between the pressure calculated using the van der Waals' equation and the ideal pressure? For Ar gas, a = 1.345 L2atm/mol2 and b = 3.219×10-2 L/mol.     what is the percent difference?
