A 0.245-L flask contains 0.467 mol co2 at 159 °c. Caculate the pressure using Van der Walls equation

The right answer is "60.56 atm".

Explanation:

As we know,

Vander wall's equation is:

⇒

or,

⇒

Here,

a = 3.59 L² atm mol⁻²

b = 0.0427 L mol⁻¹

By putting the values in the above equation, we get

⇒

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
