The van der Waals equation compensates for non-ideal behavior of gases by taking into account intermolecular forces and the volume of the gas molecules. For CO, a = 1.505 L²atm/mol² and b = 0.03985 L/mol. Use the van der Waals equation to determine the pressure, in atmospheres, of 2.00 moles of CO gas in a 3.00 L flask at 25.0 °C. Remember the gas constant, R, is 0.08206 L.atm/mol.K. P+a (V - nb) = nRT

Question
Use the ideal gas law to determine the pressure, in atmospheres, of 2.00 moles of CO gas in a 3.00
L flask at 25.0 °C.
Transcribed Image Text:Use the ideal gas law to determine the pressure, in atmospheres, of 2.00 moles of CO gas in a 3.00 L flask at 25.0 °C.
The van der Waals equation compensates for non-ideal behavior of
gases by taking into account intermolecular forces and the volume of
the gas molecules.
For CO, a = 1.505 L²atm/mol² and b = 0.03985 L/mol. Use the van der
Waals equation to determine the pressure, in atmospheres, of 2.00
moles of CO gas in a 3.00 L flask at 25.0 °C. Remember the gas
constant, R, is 0.08206 L.atm/mol.K.
P+a
(V-nb ) = nRT
