56 g of nitrogen are confined  to a 5L flask at 37⁰C. calculate  its pressure (i) assuming  N2 as an  ideal gas (ii) using Vander walls , equation , the coefficients for nitrogen being a = 4.17atm L-1mol-2  and b = 0.037 L mol-1

Using ideal gas equationpV= nRTp = nRTV = WRTMV   = 56 × 0.0821 × 31028 × 5   = 10.18 atmUsing vander Waal's equation of statep + n2aV2 V -nb = nRTp + 22× 4.1752 5 -2 × 0.037 = 2 × 0.0821 × 310  (n = number of moles =5628 = 2)Solve for pp = 2 × 0.0821 × 3105 -2 × 0.037 - 22× 4.1752p = 9.666 atm
