Step 2
Large amounts of nitrogen gas are used in the manufacture of ammonia, principally for use in fertilizers. Suppose 130.00 kg of N2(g) is stored in a 1400.0 L metal cylinder at 290 oC.
Given that for N2, a = 1.39 L atm/mol2 and b = 0.0391 L/mol, calculate the pressure of the gas according to the van der Waals equation.
