CLASS TUTORIAL 3 (Individual) - Mark For Exact Value N Unit: Q 1193.9 Cal/mol 2387.8 Cal

1. This document provides two chemistry problems involving gas behavior calculations. The first problem involves calculating the heat transfer for a gas undergoing a change in pressure and temperature using ideal gas heat capacity. The calculated heat transfer is 2387.8 cal. 2. The second problem involves calculating the pressure generated when 1.5 moles of methane is stored in a 600 cm3 volume at 50°C. It first calculates the pressure using the Van der Waals equation of state as 60.87 bar. It then calculates the pressure using the ideal gas law as 67.17 bar. It finds the percentage errors of both calculations compared to the experimental value of 60 bar, with the Van der Waals equation

CLASS TUTORIAL 3 (Individual)- Mark for exact value n unit

1. A process that take 2 mol of ammonia from an initial state of P = 1.5 bar and 150ºC to
a state of P = 3 bar and T 300 ºC. Determine the heat transfer in (cal) using ideal gas
heat capacity. (6 marks)
Q = nΔU = Cv dT
Cv = Cp –R

T1 = 423.15 T2= 573.15 K


= R ʃ ( 3.578 + 3.02 x 10e-3 (T) – 0.186 x 10e5 (T^-2) – 1 dT

Q = 1193.9 cal/mol = 2387.8 cal

2. i The experimental value of pressure generated when 1.5 mole of methane is stored in
a volume of 600 cm3 at 50 ºC is 60 bar.

i) Determine the pressure (bar) generated when 1.5 mole of methane is stored in
a volume of 600 cm3 at 50 ºC using Van der Walls EOS.
(10 marks)
P = RT / (V-b) - a / V2

a = (27/64 )( R2T2c/Pc) = (83.14 cm3 .bar/mol.K x 190.6 K) 2 /(45.99 bar )


a = 2303489.38 cm6 .bar/mol2

b = RTc / 8Pc = (83.14 cm3.bar/mol.K x 190.6 K) / (8 x 45.99 bar)


b = 43.07 cm3/mol

P = (83.14 cm3.bar/ mol.K x (50 +273.15) K) / (400 cm 3/mol – 43.07 cm3/mol)


- (2303489.38 cm6 . bar /mol2 / (400 cm3/mol)2 )

P = 75.27 bar – 14.4 bar = 60.87 bar.

ii) Determine the pressure generated using ideal gas equation. Then compare the
result. (2 marks)

PV = RT
P = (83.14 cm3.bar/mol.K) (50 +273.15)K / 400 cm3/mol
P = 67.17 bar

iii) Compare the result in (i) and (ii) with the experimental value through
percentage error. (2 marks)

% V.D.Waal = (60.87-60 / 60) = 1.45%

% Ideal Gas = (67.17 – 60/ 60) = 11.95%
