Example 1.

In an industrial process, nitrogen is heated to 500 K in a vessel of constant volume. If it enters
the vessel at 100 atm and 300 K, what pressure would it exert at the working temperature if it
behaved as a perfect gas?
Solution

Example 1.3
The mass percentage composition of dry air at sea level is approximately N2: 75.5; O2: 23.2;
Ar: 1.3. What is the partial pressure of each component when the total pressure is 1.20 atm?
Answer

Example 1.4 Using the van der Waals equation to estimate a molar volume Estimate the molar
volume of CO2 at 500 K and 100 atm by treating it as a van der Waals gas.
Answer
The van der Waals equation is

Vm = V/n as
According to Table 1.6, a = 3.610 dm6 atm mol−2 and b = 4.29 × 10−2 dm3 mol−1. Under the
stated conditions, RT/p = 0.410 dm3 mol−1. The coefficients in the equation for Vm are
therefore
b + RT/p = 0.453 dm3 mol−1
a/p = 3.61 × 10−2 (dm3 mol−1)2
ab/p = 1.55 × 10−3 (dm3 mol−1)3
Therefore, on writing x = Vm/( dm3 mol−1), the equation to solve is
x3 − 0.453x2 + (3.61 × 10−2)x − (1.55 × 10−3) = 0
The acceptable root is x = 0.366 (Fig. 1.18), which implies that Vm = 0.366 dm3 mol−1.
For a perfect gas under these conditions, the molar volume is 0.410 dm3 mol−1.
1.9(b) Calculate the mass of water vapour present in a room of volume 250 m3 that contains
air at 23°C on a day when the relative humidity is 53 per cent.

1.10(b) A gas mixture consists of 320 mg of methane, 175 mg of argon, and 225 mg of neon.
The partial pressure of neon at 300 K is 8.87 kPa. Calculate (a) the volume and (b) the
total pressure of the mixture.

1.13(b) Calculate the pressure exerted by 1.0 mol H2S behaving as (a) a perfect gas, (b) a van
der Waals gas when it is confined under the following conditions: (i) at 273.15 K in
22.414 dm3, (ii) at 500 K in 150 cm3. Use the data in Table 1.6.
1.15(b) A gas at 350 K and 12 atm has a molar volume 12 per cent larger than that calculated
from the perfect gas law. Calculate (a) the compression factor under these conditions
and (b) the molar volume of the gas. Which are dominating in the sample, the
attractive or the repulsive forces?
1.16(b) Cylinders of compressed gas are typically filled to a pressure of 200 bar. For oxygen,
what would be the molar volume at this pressure and 25°C based on (a) the perfect
gas equation, (b) the van der Waals equation. For oxygen, a = 1.364 dm6 atm mol−2,
b = 3.19 × 10−2 dm3 mol−1.

1.22(b) A certain gas obeys the van der Waals equation with a = 0.76 m6 Pa mol−2. Its volume
is found to be 4.00 × 10−4 m3 mol−1 at 288 K and 4.0 MPa. From this information
calculate the van der Waals constant b. What is the compression factor for this gas at
the prevailing temperature and pressure?
