AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on two main questions related to gas laws and properties. The first question asks how the Van der Waals equation simplifies to the ideal gas law under conditions of low pressure and high temperature. The Van der Waals equation is presented as (P - a/V^2)(V - b) = RT, with 'a' and 'b' representing adjustments for intermolecular forces and molecular volume, respectively. The simplification occurs because, at low pressures and high temperatures, the effects of these adjustments become negligible, aligning the equation with the ideal gas law.The second question involves comparing two 1.00 L samples of argon gas at different temperatures (27°C and 77°C) to analyze changes in momentum per impact and the number of impacts per second. The discussion suggests that additional equations related to pressure and impact values may be necessary to fully address this question. Participants encourage further reading on thermodynamics and gas equations to gain a deeper understanding.

help...with these problems please!

hi, could someone please help me with these? i would really appreciate it!

1) We state that the ideal gas law tends to hold best at low pressures and high tempuratures.Show how the Van der Waal's equation simplifies to the ideal gas law under these conditions.

2) Consider separate 1.00 L samples of Ar (g), both containing the same number of moles, on at 27 degrees C and the other at 77 degrees C. Compare the change in momentum per impact and the number of impacts per second in the 2 samples.

Hi lily.
Let me help you with the first question.
What is van der waals equation?{(P-a/V^2)(V-b)=RT}
What do a & b represent??Why did van der waal make these changes??
If you are still unable to solve it,Read : thermodynamics,Gas equation,Van der waals equation .
hope to have been of help.
 
Hello,

Thanks poolwin2001 for reminding Van der Waals' famous equation. Lilly, there has to be another equation in which pressure and impact-related values are present.
 
It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
