For carbon dioxide gas the constants in the van der Waals equation are = 0.364 J

Question:

For carbon dioxide gas the constants in the van der Waals equation are α = 0.364 J · m3/mol2 and

(a) If 1.00 mol of gas at 350 K is confined to a volume of find the pressure of the gas using the ideal-gas equation and the van der Waals equation.

(b) Which equation gives a lower pressure? Why? What is the percentage difference of the van der Waals equation result from the ideal-gas equation result?

(c) The gas is kept at the same temperature as it expands to a volume of Repeat the calculations of parts (a) and (b).

(d) Explain how your calculations show that the van der Waals equation is equivalent to the ideal-gas equation if is small.
