Question

One useful equation to predict the behavior of real gases was introduced by the Dutch scientists Johannes van der Waals.

a. Express the pressure p as a function of temperature T (must be in Kelvin, K), number of moles n, and volume V. 


b. Calculate the pressure of 0.150 mol Helium gas at 300oC occupying a volume of 1.25 L. Use the following values of the constants: R = 8.314 4621 L kPa K-1mol-1, a = 3.46 L2-kPa-mol2, and b = 0.02370 L-mol-1.
