Question

Chlorine gas (a =6.579 x 10-1 m6 Pa mol-2; b = 5.622 x 10-5 m3 mol-1) is stored under pressure in metal tanks. A typical tank has a volume of 15.0 L and contains 1.25kg of Cl2. With the aid of van der Waals equation calculate the pressure in this tank if the temperature is 295K?

Step 1

0 L = 15.0 * 10^-3 m^3 - Convert the mass of chlorine gas to moles: 1.25 kg = 1250 g, and the molar mass of Cl2 is 35.45 * 2 = 70.9 g/mol, so moles = 1250 / 70.9 = 17.63 mol Show more…
