Question 21 POST_UTME_UNN • 2021 • CHEMISTRY • objective

The van der Waals equation is given by \( left\( P + \frac{a}{V^2} \right \ \) \( V - b \) = RT ). If the gas cons\tant \( R = 0.0821 , \text{L atm} , \text{K}^{-1} , \text{mol}^{-1} \), the van der Waals cons\tant \( a = 2.17 , \text{L}^2 , \text{atm}^2 , \text{mol}^{-2} \), and the van der Waals cons\tant \( b = 4.17 \times 10^{-2} , \text{L} , \text{mol}^{-1} \), calculate the pressure ( P ) in atm when the volume \( V = 2.5 , \text{L} \) and the temperature \( T = 300 , \text{K} \).
