Question 1
(a) Consider that 25.0 g of CH4(g) is contained in a sealed 2.0-L container at 30°C.
What would be the pressure if the gas were:
(i) Acting as an ideal gas?
(ii) Acting as a van der Waals gas?
(iii) Obeying the virial equation but only when the first two terms are significant?
(at 30°C, B for CH4(g) = -43.9 cm³.mol-¹)
(b) If the volume of the gas was compressed isothermally to 200 mL at T = 30°C, what would the
pressure in (i), (ii), and (iii) become?
