How do you calculate the molar volume of a real gas?

Answer 1

Using # PV = nRT# , you can calculate the value for molar volume. V is the unknown and n = 1.00 mol. Set P and T to their standard values and use R = 0.08206.

The molar volume of a real gas can be calculated using the Van der Waals equation: (V = \frac{{(nRT)}}{{P + an^2}}), where V is volume, n is moles, R is the gas constant, T is temperature, P is pressure, and a is a correction factor for molecular size.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
