Question

According to the ideal gas law, a 9.585 mol sample of krypton gas in a 0.8032 L container at 504.9 K should exert a pressure of 494.4 atm. What is the percent difference between the pressure calculated using the van der Waals' equation and the ideal pressure? For Kr gas, a = 2.318 L2atm/mol2 and b = 3.978×10-2 L/mol. %

Answer 1

1.17%

Step-by-step explanation:

The pressure using vander waals' equation = 610.955atm

The difference

• 610.955-494.4 =116.555atm

The % difference = 1.17%
