Question:

The van der Waals equation can be arranged into the following cubic equation:v + n(RT + bP) v + (ma) v- P nab P = 0

(a) Using this equation, calculate the volume occupied by 0.505 mol NH3 (g) at 25 °C and 95.0 atm. The van der Waals parameters for NH3 are a = 4.225 bar · L· mol–2 and b = 3.71 L · mol–2.

(b) Do the attractive or the repulsive forces dominate at this temperature and pressure?
