compression factor problem...
« on: September 09, 2009, 12:08:46 PM »
Hello I have a little problem in this numerical...I have tried solving it, but not able to get it. I know the formula and all but not able to implement this into the formula...

A gas at 350. K and 15.0 atm has a molar volume 12 % smaller than that calculated from the perfect gas law. Calculate its compression factor under these conditions? Which intermolecular forces are dominating?

I have: RTZ = PV where Z is the compression factor and P is the pressure and V is the molar volume R is the gas constant with the value 8.314 J/mol/K....
please *delete me*

Thanks!

What is the molar volume of a perfect gas at 350K and 15.0atm?
