Using PV=nRT or the ideal gas equation, we substitute n= 15.0 moles of gas, V= 3.00L, R equal to 0.0821 L atm/ mol K and T= 296.55 K and get P equal to 121.73 atm. The Van der waals equation is (P + n^2a/V^2)*(V-nb) = nRT. Substituting a=2.300L2⋅atm/mol2 and b=0.0430 L/mol, P is equal to 97.57 atm. The difference is <span>121.73 atm- 97.57 atm equal to 24.16 atm.</span>
A pure substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical or chemical means. A pure substance composed of two or more elements that are chemically combined.
Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2, while water is H2O and oxygen (a diatomic gas) is O2. The (unbalanced) reaction is:
H2O2 --> H2O + O2
Notice that the H2O2 has 2 H atoms, and so does H2. This means that both must have the same coefficients, and we can adjust the coefficient of O2. Since H2O2 has 2 O atoms, and H2O has 1, we multiply O2 by 1/2:
H2O2 --> H2O + (1/2)O2
This has an equivalent number of H and O atoms on either side, but we want the coefficients to be whole numbers, so we multiply everything by 2:
2H2O2 --> 2H2O + O2
