Briefly explain the significance of the constants \(a\) and \(b\) in the van der Waals equation.
Newton had an incorrect theory of gases in which he assumed that all gas molecules repel one another and the walls of their container. Thus, the molecules of a gas are statically and uniformly distributed, trying to get as far apart as possible from one another and the vessel walls. This repulsion gives rise to pressure. Explain why Charles's law argues for the kineticmolecular theory and against Newton's model.
Based on their respective van der Waals constants (Table 10.3), is Ar or \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) expected to behave more nearly like an ideal gas at high pressures? Explain.
A rigid vessel containing a \(3: 1 \mathrm{~mol}\) ratio of carbon dioxide and water vapor is held at \(200^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) where it has a total pressure of \(2.00 \mathrm{~atm}\). If the vessel is cooled to \(10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) so that all of the water vapor condenses, what is the pressure of carbon dioxide? Neglect the volume of the liquid water that forms on cooling.
An herbicide is found to contain only \(\mathrm{C}, \mathrm{H}, \mathrm{N}\), and \(\mathrm{Cl}\). The complete combustion of a \(100.0\)-mg sample of the herbicide in excess oxygen produces \(83.16 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) and \(73.30 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) vapor at STP. A separate analysis shows that the sample also contains \(16.44 \mathrm{mg}\) of \(\mathrm{Cl}\). (a) Determine the percentage of the composition of the substance. (b) Calculate its empirical formula. (c) What other information would you need to know about this compound to calculate its true molecular formula?
