Answer:
46.9 atm
Explanation:
Applying Van der waals equation
P = [nRT/(V-nb)]- (an²/V²)............... Equation 1
Where P = pressure, T = temperature, n = number of moles, V = volume, R = Universal constant, a and b = gas constant
Given: n = 20 moles, R = 0.08205 L.atm/mol.K, T = 273 K, V = 10.0 L, a = 0.0341 atm.L²/mol², b = 0.0237L/mol
Substitute these values into equation 1
P = [(20×0.08205×273)/(10-20×0.0237)]-(0.0341×20²/10²)
P = (447.993/9.526)-0.1364
P = 47.028-0.1364
P = 46.9 atm
