Question

1. Research on alternative fuel sources for cars continues to grow as alternative fuel sources become more popular. One alternative is a hydrogen-powered car, but you need a small molar volume to make storing hydrogen in a car feasible. Use the (a) perfect gas, (b) Van der Walls, and (c) virial equations of state to determine the pressures needed to store a molar volume of 0.100 L/mol of hydrogen at room temperature. For H2: a = 0.2420 atm dm6 mol-1 , b = 0.0265 dm3 mol-1 , and B = 13.7 cm3 mol-1 .
