Example Question #1 : Non Ideal Gas Behavior

One flask is at STP and another is at .  What is the pressure at ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The pressure of the flask at  is .  

Because the volume between the flasks and the moles in each flask are constant, we can cancel out  and .

At STP, conditions are  and .  

Example Question #1 : Non Ideal Gas Behavior

A 3.00 L container at 273 K is filled with 1.00 mol Cl2(g), which behaves non-ideally.
