MCad Problem 1. Calculate the pressure exerted by 0.2468 mole of CO which occupies 0.1 L at 300 K using: (a) the ideal gas equation and (b) the van der waals equation.
Part a: P=nRT/V
Define units
Assign values to n, R, T, and V
since 1L = 1 dm3
Define P in terms of equation of state:
Calculate P;
Part b: P=nRT/(V-nb)-an2/V2
Assign values to a and b. The values of R, T and V have already been assigned in part a.
