If 1.00 mol of argon is placed in a 0.500-L container at 20.0 ∘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.

    Hey There!

    ideal gas law:

    PV = nRT

    P = nRT/V

    P = (1*0.082) (18+273) / (0.5) = 47.724 atm

    For VDW:

    (P + a (n/V) ²) (V - nB) = nRT

    P = nRT / (V - nB) - a (n/V) ²

    P = 1*0.082 * (18+273) / (0.5-1*0.03219) - 1.345 * (1/0.5) ² = 45.62

    P = 45.62 atm

    Pdif = P2-P1 = 47.724 - 45.62 = 2.104 atm
