Chapter 6, Problem 6.148QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The pressure exerted by $1.00\text{mol}$ of ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ in a $1.00\text{L}$ vessel at $300\text{K}$ when the gas behaves ideally and same using the van der Waals equation is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The van der Waals equation for ideal gas is,

$PV=n\text{R}T$

The van der Waals equation for real gas is,

$\left(P+\frac{n^2\text{a}}{V^2}\right)\left(V-n\text{b}\right)=n\text{R}T$

To determine: The pressure exerted by $1.00\text{mol}$ of ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ in a $1.00\text{L}$ vessel at $300\text{K}$ when the gas behaves ideally.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The pressure of ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ gas using the van der Waal’s equation.
