Use the van der Waals equation to calculate the volume, in L, occupied by a 1.00 mol sample of chlorine gas at 355 K and a pressure of 20.0 atm. For chlorine, a = 6.49 L²・atm/mol² and b = 0.0562 L/mol. (Solve by successive approximations using the simplifying assumption that the value of V in the n²a/V² term is given by the ideal gas equation, V = nRT/P, and then is replaced by the calculated value of V in successive calculations. Continue until a constant three significant figure value is reached.)
