Aluminum trichloride is formed by reacting solid aluminum with chlorine gas. Calculate the percent correction of the pressure of chlorine gas in atm consumed in a 5.6 x 106 mm³ tank at 66.66°C by comparing the ideal gas equation and the more realistic van der Waals equation if the aluminum trichloride produced in the reaction is 101.19 g. Atomic Mass: Al: 26.982 g/mol Cl: 35.453 g/mol Van der Waals Constants: a: 6.343 atm L2/mol2 b: 0.05422 L/mol
