Two moles of COX2 (a=3.59L2atmmol−2, b=0.0427Lmol−1) are kept in a 5.0L vessel at 300K. Using the van der Waals equation and R=0.0821LatmK−1mol−1, the pressure in atm (two decimals) is
Numerical answer type, answer in atm, tolerance 0.02.
Answer: 9.45 atm
P=V−nbnRT−V2an2=5.0−0.08542×0.0821×300−253.59×4=10.0232−0.5744=9.4488atm, i.e. 9.45atm. The ideal value would be 9.852atm.
