A vessel has nitrogen gas and water vapour in equilibrium with liquid water at a total pressure of 1 atm. The partial pressure of water vapours is 0.3 atm. The volume of this vessel is reduced to one third of the original volume, at the same temperature, then total pressure of the system is: (Neglect volume occupied by liquid water)

Calculate the pressure exerted by 5 mole of CO_2 in one litre vessel at 47^@C using van der Waals equation. Also report the pressure of gas if it behaves ideal in nature. Given that a = 3.592 atm L^2mol^(-1),b=0.0427Lmol^(-1) . Also, if the volume occupied by CO_2 molecules is negligible, then calculate the pressure exerted by one mole of CO_2 gas at 273 K.
