Question:

As shown in Example Problem 3.5, (∂Um/∂V)T a/V2m for a van der Waals gas. In this problem, you will compare the change in energy with temperature and volume for N2, treating it as a van der Waals gas.

a. Calculate ΔU per mole of N2(g) at 1 bar pressure and 298 K if the volume is increased by 1.00% at constant T.

b. Calculate ΔU per mole of N2(g) at 1 bar pressure and 298 K if the temperature is increased by 1.00% at constant V.

c. Calculate the ratio of your results in part (a) to the result in part (b). What can you conclude about the relative importance of changes in temperature and volume on ΔU?
