Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Percentage difference in pressure determined using Ideal gas equation and van der Waals equation should be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Ideal gas Equation:
Any gas is described by using four terms namely pressure, volume, temperature and the amount of gas. Thus combining three laws namely Boyle’s, Charles’s Law and Avogadro’s Hypothesis the following equation could be obtained. It is referred as ideal gas equation.
Here,
n is the moles of gas
P is the Pressure
V is the Volume
T is the Temperature
R is the gas constant
Van der Waal’s gas equation:
The van der Waal equation describes the ideal gas as it approaches to zero. The van der Waal equation contains correction terms a and b for the intermolecular forces and molecular size respectively.
The van der Waal equation is as follows,

- Calculate the molar volume of oxygen at 1.00 atm and 0C and at 10.0 atm and 0C, using the van der Waals equation. The van der Waals constants are given in Table 5.7. (See the note on solving the equation given in Problem 5.103.) Compare the results with the values predicted by the ideal gas law. Also compare with the values obtained from Table 5.3.arrow_forwardConsider a 5.00-L tank containing 375 g of Ar at a temperature of 25 C. (a) Calculate the pressure in the tank using both the ideal gas law and the van der Waals equation. (b) Which correction term, a(n/V)2 or bn, has the greatest influence on the pressure of this system?arrow_forwardBefore small batteries were available, carbide lamps were used for bicycle lights. Acetylene gas. C2H2, and solid calcium hydroxide were formed by the reaction of calcium carbide, CaC2. with water. The ignition of the acetylene gas provided the light. Currently, the same lamps are used by some cavers, and calcium carbide is used to produce acetylene for carbide cannons. (a) Outline the steps necessary to answer the following question: What volume of C2H2 at 1.005 atm and 12.2 C is formed by the reaction of 15.48 g of CaC2 with water? (b) Answer the question.arrow_forward
- Calculate the pressure of ethanol vapor, C2H5,OH(g), at 82.0C if 1.000 mol C2H5OH(g) occupies 30.00 L. Use the van der Waals equation (see Table 5.7 for data). Compare with the result from the ideal gas law.arrow_forwardCalculate the pressure of water vapor at 120.0C if 1.000 mol of water vapor occupies 32.50 L. Use the van der Waals equation (see Table 5.7 for data). Compare with the result from the ideal gas law.arrow_forwardAn intermediate reaction used in the production of nitrogen-containing fertilizers is that between ammonia and oxygen: 4NH3(g)+5O2(g)4NO(g)+6H2O(g) A 150.0-L reaction chamber is charged with reactants to the following partial pressures at 500C: PNH3=1.3atm, PO2=1.5atm.
