QUESTION:
A 5.00-mole sample of NH3 gas is kept in a 1.92-L container at 300 K. If the van der Waals equation is assumed to give the correct answer for the pressure of the gas, calculate the percent error made in using the ideal gas equation to calculate the pressure.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
According ideal gas, pressure can be calculated by the following formula;
....................(1)
.......................(2)
Here,
P = Pressure
n = Number of moles
R = Gas constant
T = Temperature
V = Volume
