Question

Can someone explain in detail how to do thisproblem?        0.50 mol CCl4 gas is introduced into a 10.0-Lflask. What fraction of the total volume of the flask is occupiedby CCl4 molecules? (Value of Van der Waalsconstant b for CCl4 = 0.138 L/mol )

Answer: 0.0138

Explanation / Answer

Formula:     Volume occupied = V-nb Given data: V = 10.0L , n = 0.138 L/mol,   n= 0.50mol    Therefore, voulme occupied gas molecules =10.0L - (0.50mol*0.138L/mol)                                               =10.0L - 0.069L                                              = 9.931L Hence, fraction of totoal volume occupied gas volume =9.931/10.0                                                                                   = 0.9931 Hence, fraction of totoal volume occupied gas volume =9.931/10.0                                                                                   = 0.9931
