According to the ideal gas law, a 10.90 mol sample of methane gas in a 0.8267 L container at 495.1 K should exert a pressure of 535.7 atm. What is the percent difference between the pressure calculated using the van der Waals' equation and the ideal pressure? For CH4 gas, a = 2.253 L2atm/mol2 and b = 4.278×10-2 L/mol.   ?%
