Use the van der Waals equation and the ideal gas equation to calculate the V of 1 mol of Ne at a P of 500 bar and a T of 355 K?

Update:

Use the van der Waals equation and the ideal gas equation to calculate the volume of 1.000 mol of neon at a pressure of 500.0 bar and a temperature of 355.0 K. Explain why the two values are different. (Hint: One way to solve the van der Waals equation for V is to use successive approximations. Use the ideal gas law to get a preliminary estimate for V.)

    p = 500 bar = 50 MPa.

    Ideal gas law:

    pV = nRT =>

    (50 MPa)( V ) = (1 mol)(8.314 J/molK)(355 K);

    V = 2951 J/(50 x 10^6 Pa)

    = 59 J/(10^6 Pa) = 59 cm^3.
