Using van der Waals equation, calculate the constant `a` when `2 mol` of a gas confined in a `4 L` flasks exerts a pressure of `11.0 atm` at a temperature of `300 K`. The value of `b` is `0.05 L mol^(-1)`.

Answer» The van der Waals equation of state for a gas is
`(P+(an^(2))/(V^(2)))(V-nb)=nRT`
`:. (11+(axx2^(2))/(4^(2)))(4-2xx0.05)=2xx0.0821xx300`
or `a=6.46 atm L^(2) mol^(-2)`
