The correct Answer is:
To find the simplified form of the Van der Waals equation for 3 moles of a real gas at low pressure, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the Van der Waals equation The Van der Waals equation is given by: \[ \left( P + \frac{a n^2}{V^2} \right)(V - nb) = nRT \] Where: - \( P \) = pressure of the gas - \( V \) = volume of the gas - \( n \) = number of moles of the gas - \( R \) = universal gas constant - \( T \) = temperature - \( a \) and \( b \) = Van der Waals constants specific to the gas ### Step 2: Consider low pressure conditions At low pressure, the volume \( V \) of the gas is very large compared to the volume occupied by the gas molecules (which is represented by \( nb \)). Therefore, we can neglect the term \( nb \): \[ V - nb \approx V \] ### Step 3: Substitute into the Van der Waals equation Substituting this approximation back into the Van der Waals equation gives: \[ \left( P + \frac{a n^2}{V^2} \right)V = nRT \] ### Step 4: Rearranging the equation Expanding and rearranging the equation, we get: \[ PV + \frac{a n^2}{V} = nRT \] ### Step 5: Isolate the pressure term Rearranging further to isolate \( PV \): \[ PV = nRT - \frac{a n^2}{V} \] ### Step 6: Divide through by \( RT \) Now, we divide the entire equation by \( RT \): \[ \frac{PV}{RT} = n - \frac{a n^2}{RT V} \] ### Step 7: Substitute \( n = 3 \) For 3 moles of gas, substitute \( n = 3 \): \[ \frac{PV}{RT} = 3 - \frac{3a}{RT V} \] ### Final Form This simplifies to: \[ \frac{PV}{RT} + \frac{3a}{RT V} = 3 \] This is the simplified form of the Van der Waals equation for 3 moles of a real gas at low pressure. ### Conclusion Thus, the simplified form of the Van der Waals equation for 3 moles of a real gas at low pressure is: \[ \frac{PV}{RT} - \frac{3a}{V} = 3 \]
