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. Chem, 11th ed.]
assuming the behavior is described by the van der Waals equation of
state, with a = 3.610 atm dm6 mol-2, b
= 4.29×10-2 dm3 mol-1. [source:

using the reduced van der Waals equation. The critical constants
for CO2 are Pc=73.80 bar,
Vc=0.0919 dm3/mol,
Tc=304.2 K. [source: NIST Chemistry
