One process for decaffeinating coffee uses carbon dioxide ( M=44.0 g/mol) at a molar density of about 14,0 mol/m3 and a temperature of about 60 . (a) Is CO2 a solid, liquid, gas, or supercritical fluid under those conditions? (b) The van der Waals constants for carbon dioxide are a=0.3658 Pa m6/mol2 and b=4.286105 m3/mol. Using the van der Waals equation, estimate pressure of CO2 at that temperature and density. `
Provide an equation of state (relating pressure, volume and temperature) for a real gas and interpret the terms that take into account the differences between a real and ideal gas. Comment on the extreme limits (example:zero temperature). Under what conditions does the behavior of real gases conform to the behavior expected to ideal gases?

Solve the common pressure and temperature assuming no heat loss in the containers and the surrounding of the two containers A and B that hold an ideal gas at pressure PA and PB, and absolute temperature TA and TB respectively. The containers are connected by a thin tube (and a close valve). The valve is opened to allow the pressures and temperatures to equalize.

In the simple kinetic theory of a gas we discussed in class, the molecules are assumed to be point-like objects (without any volume) so that they rarely collide with one another. In reality, each molecule has a small volume and so there are collisions. Let's assume that a molecule is a hard sphere of radius r. Then the molecules will occasionally collide with each other. The average distance traveled between two successive collisions (called mean free path) is λ = V/(4π √2 r2N) where V is the volume of the gas containing N molecules. Calculate the mean free path of a H2 molecule in a hydrogen gas tank at STP. Assume the molecular radius to be 10-10 a) 2.1*10-7 m b) 4.2*10-7 m c) none of these.
Given the ideal gas law P V = k T, where k> 0 is a constant. We have the equation for V in terms of P and T. Finding the rate of change of the volume with respect to temperature at constant pressure, the interpretation of the result is: 1 Because this partial derivative is negative, the volume decreases as the temperature decreases at a fixed pressure. . 2. Because this partial derivative is negative, the volume increases as the temperature increases at a fixed pressure. 3. Because this partial derivative is positive, the volume increases as the temperature decreases at a fixed pressure. 4. Because this partial derivative is positive, the volume increases as the temperature increases at a fixed pressure.
