Gas laws questions
« on: November 19, 2020, 07:41:41 AM »
Question 1) The critical temperature for  water is 647.1 K. At [itex]10^3[/itex] bar and 700 K, the density of supercritical water is [itex]651.37 kg m^3[/itex]. Note that this is about 68% of the value for liquid water at the boiling point at 1 bar. What is the molar volume in [itex]m^3mol^{-1}[/itex] of water at this temperature and pressure? in L/mol?

Question 2)
Refer to your results in the question 1). Assuming that a water molecule excludes other water molecules from a cubic region centered on itself, estimate the average distance between nearest-neighbor  water molecules in supercritical water at [itex]10^3[/itex] bar and 700 K.

Question 3) Calculate the molar volume of supercritical water at [itex]10^3[/itex] bar and 700 K from the ideal gas equation. What is the error, expressed as a percentage of the value, you computed in question 1)?

Question 4) At 700 K, the virial coefficient B* for water is  [itex]-1.1512\times 10^{-8} Pa^{-1}[/itex]. Calculate the molar volume of supercritical water at [itex]10^3[/itex] bar and 700 K from the virial equation. [itex]Z=P\overline{V}/RT=1+B^*P[/itex]
What is the error, expressed as a percentage of the value you computed in question 1)?

Question 5) Calculate the molar volume of supercritical water at [itex] 10^3[/itex] bar and 700 K from van der waals' equation. The van der waals' parameters for water are [itex]a= 5.537 bar L^2/mol^2, b=0.0305 L/mol[/itex] What is the error, expressed as a percentage of the value you computed in question 1)?

Question 6) Comment on the results in questions 2ꟷ5.


Answers:
   I don't know  molar mass of supercritical water. That's why i couldn't compute its molar volume [itex]m^3/mol[/itex] and L/mol.

 If we know answer to question 1), remaining questions can be answered easily except question 6)

Any science consists of the following process.
 1) See 2) Hear 3) Smell if needed 4) Taste if needed
5) Think 6) Understand 7) Inference 8) take decision [Believe or disbelieve, useful or useless, healthy or unhealthy, cause or effect, favorable or unfavorable, practical or theoretical, practically possible or practically impossible, true or false or  any other required criteria]

I think molar mass of water will not change by physical changes. Its H2O and it is defined by the atoms in the molecule.
