A certain gas obeys the van der Waals equation with a = 0.50 m6 Pa mol−2. Its molar volume is found to be 5.00 × 10–4 m3 mol−1 at 273 K and 3.0 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?

a

The value is

b

Explanation:

Generally the pressure of the gas  is mathematically represented as

Substituting for R , 273K for  T  , for   ,   for a  and   for P

We have

=>  

Generally the compression factor is mathematically represented as

=>  

=>

answer

fusion: the energy source of stars. the energy released from the collapse of the gas into a protostar causes the center of the protostar to become extremely hot. when the core is hot enough, nuclear fusion commences. fusion is the process where two hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium atom, releasing energy.
