When a real gas is placed into a container at high pressure, why might the pressure of the gas be higher than what was predicted by the ideal gas law?

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:Properties of ideal gases have different volumes under very high pressure. These gases take up additional volume when there is high pressure exerted, and the predicted volume of these gases will end up being smaller than the actual values of the gas volumes. Therefore, the true volume of the gases will be higher than the low ones that were predicted, giving your answer A.

answer : (a) volume of the gas = 8.67 ×   l

                (b) second virial coefficient b = -1.21226 l/mole

solution :   given,     t = 300k

                                p = 20atm

                                z = 0.86

                                n = 8.2 mmoles = 8.2 × moles

                                r =   0.082 l atm/k/mol

        find,     (a) volume of gas   and (b) second virial coefficient b at 300k.

formula used :            

                          and            

(a)            

                    = \times 0.082\times 300}{20}[/tex]

                    = 8.67 ×   l

(b)      

                    = (0.00867-1) × 8.659

                    = - 8.5839 l/mole
