If 1.00 mol of argon is placed in a 0.500-L container at 19.0 ∘C , what is the difference between the ideal pressure (as predicted by the ideal gas law) and the real pressure (as predicted by the van der Waals equation)? For argon, a=1.345(L2⋅atm)/mol2 and b=0.03219L/mol.

Expert Solution

The Van der Waals equation is a description of real gases, it includes all those interactions which we previously ignore in the ideal gas law.

It considers the repulsion and collision, between molecules of gases. They are no longer ignored and they also are not considered a"point" particle.

The idel gas law:

PV = nRT

P(V/n) = RT ; let V/n = v; molar volume

P*v = RT

now, the van der Waals equation corrects pressure and volume

(P+ a/v^2) * (v - b) = RT

where;

R = idel gas law; recommended to use the units of a and b; typically bar/atm and dm/L

T = absolute temperature, in K

v = molar volume, v = Volume of gas / moles of gas

P = pressure of gas

Knowing this data; we can now substitute the data

given

a = 3.6551

b = 0.04281

(P+ a/v^2) * (v - b) = RT

v = V/n = 0.5/1 = 0.5, T = 19°C = 292 K

P = RT/(v-b) - a/v^2

P = (0.082)(292)/(0.5-0.03219) - 1.345/(0.5^2) =

P = 45.80 atm

b)

PV = nRT

P = nRT/V

P = (1)(0.082)(292)/(0.5)

P = 47.888 atm
