Find the pressure of a sample of CCl ₄ if 1.0 mole occupies 35 L at 77^ C . Assume CCl ₄ obeys the van der Waals equation of state. (a=20 ~L ~mol ^2 ~atm ⁻² . and .b=0.14 ~L ~mol ⁻¹ )
Options
- A0.56 atm
- B0.572 atm
- C0.82 atm
- D0.807 atm
Correct answer
D. 0.807 atm
Step-by-step solution
Pressure, aligned p & = R T V-b - a V^2 & = 0.082 350 35-0.14 - 20 (35)^2 & =0.807 ~atm aligned
