What is the pressure of CO2 at 0^oC, molar volume = 4 liter/mole, if B = – 0.053 liter/mole, C = 0.0026 liter^2/mole^2? (Use virial equation, neglect higher terms)(a) 2.4 atm(b) 4.1 atm(c) 5.5 atm(d) 6.9 atmI had been asked this question in an interview for job.Asked question is from Equations of State topic in division Real Gases: Equations of State, Single Component Two Phase Systems, Saturation & Condensation of Basic Chemical Engineering

Answer»

Right option is (C) 5.5 atm

The BEST EXPLANATION: pV = RT(1 + B/V + C/V^2), => p = (0.0821*273/4)(1 – 0.053/4 + 0.0026/16) = 5.5 atm.
