Question

If pressure of  CO2 (real gas) in a container is given by P=RT2Vba4b2 then mass of the gas in container is 

Moderate
Solution

Vander wall's gas equation for μ mole of real gas

P+μ2aV2(Vμb)=μRTP=μRTVμbμ2aV2on comparing the given equation with this standard equation we get  μ=12. Hence μ=mM  mass of gas m=μm=12×44=22gm.
