The van der Waals equation of state was designed (by Dutch physicist Johannes van der Waals) to predict the relationship between pressure p, volume Vand temperature T for gases better than the Ideal Gas Law does: 2 n (p+α = ²^) ( v. (V-nb)=nRT The parameters a and b must be determined for each gas from experimental data. Use the van der Waals equation to answer the questions in the table below. What are the units of a? The van der Waals equation of state. R stands for the gas constant and n for moles of gas. What are the units of b? For ammonia the numerical value of a is 4.169 and the numerical value of b is 0.0371. Use the van der Waals equation to calculate the pressure of a sample of ammonia at 170.0 °C with a molar volume of 4.12 L/mol. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. Use the Ideal Gas Law to calculate the pressure of the same sample under the same conditions. Round this answer to 3 significant digits also. atm · 2 n L n 2 atm atm x10 010 X S The van der Waals equation of state was designed (by Dutch physicist Johannes van der Waals) to predict the relationship between pressure p, volume Vand temperature T for gases better than the Ideal Gas Law does: 2 n (p+α = ²^) ( v.
