- What properties of a nonideal gas do the Vander Waals constants represent?arrow_forwardUnder what conditions would the van der Waals constant b be negative? Do you think there are any gases for which this occurs?arrow_forwardUse the ideal gas law to symbolically prove the cyclic rule of partial derivatives.arrow_forward
- At the critical point for carbon dioxide, the substance is very far from being an ideal gas. Prove this statement by calculating the density of an ideal gas in g/cm3 at the conditions of the critical point and comparing it with the experimental value. Compute the experimental value from the fact that a mole of CO2 at its critical point occupies 94 cm3.arrow_forwardNumerically evaluate for one mole of methane acting as a van der Waals gas at a T = 298 K and V = 25.0 L and b T = 1000 K and V = 250.0 L. Comment on which set of conditions yields a number closer to that predicted by the ideal gas law. pVT,narrow_forwardWhy is nitrogen a good choice for the study of ideal gas behavior around room temperature?arrow_forward
- Use the ideal gas law to demonstrate the cyclic rule of partial derivatives.arrow_forward2. Evaluate the following integrals. ● -5 dx 5x • S√1 + x dx 3. The pressure of one mole of a van der Waals gas is a function of volume and temperature. Determine if dP is an exact or inexact differential. P ---- RT V-b a V2arrow_forward2. Deduce the first four virial coefficients of (ii) a Van der Waals gas.arrow_forward
- This is the expression valid for van der Waals gases. Calculate the final temperature if the Joule’sfree expansion experiment was carried out to double the volume of 10 mL gas at 25 °C with a) Heb) CO2 molecules. The van der Waals coefficients, a, for He and CO2 are 0.0346 and 3.658,respectively. (Hint: Use equipartition to calculate Cv values and assume three of the vibrations notpopulated in carbon dioxide)arrow_forward(*), (*): P Use the Euler and reciprocal relations to show that it is equivalent to Cp - Cy = T Ср - Cv = −T. Сү = -Т. Әр ат av 2 T (1) (2) Use this expression to evaluate Cр - Cv for (1) an ideal gas, and (2) for a van der Waals gas.arrow_forward10 molecules of a gas are present in a container maintained at 298 K. What is the probability that all ten molecules will be found simultaneously in one half of the container?arrow_forward
