Question
An empty 49.0 L methane storage tank has an empty mass of
55.85 kg and, when filled, has a mass of 62.07 kg. Calculate
the pressure of CH, in the tank at 21 C using both the ideal
gas equation and the van der Waals equation.
What is the percentage correction achieved by using the more
realistic van der Waals equation?
