If 1.00 mol of argon is placed in a 0.500-l container at 28.0 ∘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.

1.98 atm

Explanation:

Given that:

Temperature = 28.0 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T₁ = (28 + 273.15) K = 301.15 K

n = 1

V = 0.500 L

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L atm/ K mol  

Applying the equation as:

P × 0.500 L = 1 ×0.0821 L atm/ K mol  × 301.15 K

⇒P (ideal) = 49.45 atm

Using Van der Waal's equation

R = 0.0821 L atm/ K mol  

Where, a and b are constants.

For Ar, given that:

So, a = 1.345 atm L² / mol²

b =  0.03219 L / mol

So,  

⇒P  (real) = 47.47 atm

Difference in pressure = 49.45 atm - 47.47 atm = 1.98 atm

when heated, the valance electrons increased their speed and transferred the heat from electron to electron.   i just took the test.
