Two moles of a van der Waals fluid are maintained at a temperature T = 0.95TC in a volume of 200cm3. At this temperature, the reduced molar volume of the liquid phase νl ~ 0.68 and that of the gas phase νg ~ 1.7. Assuming the substance to be oxygen (i.e., using the van der Waals constants for oxygen a = 0.138 Pa-m6 and b = 32.6x10-6m3), find the mole number and volume of each phase.

Consider a 50.0 g sample of CO2 in a 150 cm3 vessel at 373 K. Calculate the pressure of the sample using each of the following approaches: assuming perfect gas behavior (i.e, using the ideal gas law). using the virial equation. The second virial coefficient for CO2 at this temperature is B = -72.2 cm3/mol. [source: Atkins Phys.

Atomic gas which obeys Van der Waals equation of state RT= (P+ a/ V2) (V-b) has internal energy (per mole) of u = 3/2 RT - a/V where 'V' is volume of mole in temperature T. In the beginning, the gas temperature is T1 and volume V1. The gas is let to expand adiabatically so that its final volume is V2. What is the final temperature of the gas?
2. (15 marks) The van der Waals equation (first introduced by van der Waals in 1877) is an attempt to describe the fact that real gases do not follow the ideal gas law. According to this equation where P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume, R is the gas constant, T is the temperature, n is the number of moles, and a and b are parameters that depend on the gas (a) Suppose that 1.0 ±...
