You have a sample of gas in a container with a movable piston, such as the one in the drawing. (a) Redraw the container to show what it might look like if the temperature of the gas is increased from 300 to 500 K while the pressure is kept constant. (b) Redraw the container to show what it might look like if the external pressure on the piston is increased from 1.0 atm to 2.0 atm while the temperature is kept constant. (c) Redraw the container to show what it might look like if the temperature of the gas decreases from 300 to 200 K while the pressure is kept constant (assume the gas does not liquefy).

(Values for the van der Waals constants are given in Table 10.3.) (c) Which would you expect to deviate more from ideal behavior under these conditions, Cl2 or CCl4? Explain
Solution
Problem 10.96 Calculate the pressure that CCl4 will exert at 40 if 1.00 mol occupies 33.3 L, assuming that (a) CCl4 obeys the ideal gas equation; (b) CCl4 obeys the van der Waals equation. (Values for the van der Waals constants are given in Table 10.3.) (c) Which would you expect to deviate more from ideal behavior under these conditions, Cl2 or CCl4 Explain Step-by-step solution Step 1 of 4 Given data: Moles of CCl 4g), n = 1.00 mol Volume of the gas, V = 33.3 L Temperature of gas, T = 40 = (40 + 273) K = 313 K a) The ideal gas equation is: PV = nRT …… (1) Here, R is gas constant = 0.08206 L-atm/mol-K Solving the equation (1) for P and substituting in the known values gives: nRTP = V = (1.00 mol)(0.08206 Latm/molK)(313 K) 33.3 L = 0.771 atm So, the pressure exerted by CCl (g4 is 0.771 atm.
