In what way does elevation affect climate? A.
Air at higher elevations is more dense, and therefore it holds more heat.
B.
Air at higher elevations is less dense, and therefore it holds less heat.
C.
Air at higher elevations is more dense, and therefore it holds less heat.
D.
Air at higher elevations is less dense, and therefore it holds more heat.

answer : (a) volume of the gas = 8.67 ×   l

                (b) second virial coefficient b = -1.21226 l/mole

solution :   given,     t = 300k

                                p = 20atm

                                z = 0.86

                                n = 8.2 mmoles = 8.2 × moles

                                r =   0.082 l atm/k/mol

        find,     (a) volume of gas   and (b) second virial coefficient b at 300k.

formula used :            

                          and            

(a)            

                    = \times 0.082\times 300}{20}[/tex]

                    = 8.67 ×   l

(b)      

                    = (0.00867-1) × 8.659

                    = - 8.5839 l/mole
