Question: The critical temperature and pressure of the CO2 gas are 304.2 K and 72.9 atm respectively. Calculate the radius of the CO2 molecule assuming it to behave van der Wall’s gas.
 
Solution:
 
Given:
 
Tc = 304.2 K
 
Pc = 72.9 atm
 
We have,
 
straight T subscript straight c equals space fraction numerator 8 straight a over denominator 27 Rb end fraction

straight P subscript straight c space end subscript equals fraction numerator straight a over denominator 27 straight b squared end fraction

straight T subscript straight c over straight P subscript straight c equals fraction numerator fraction numerator 8 straight a over denominator 27 Rb end fraction over denominator fraction numerator straight a over denominator 27 straight b squared end fraction end fraction

space space space space space equals fraction numerator 8 up diagonal strike straight a over denominator up diagonal strike 27 straight R up diagonal strike straight b end fraction cross times fraction numerator up diagonal strike 27 straight b to the power of up diagonal strike 2 end exponent over denominator up diagonal strike straight a end fraction

straight T subscript straight c over straight P subscript straight c equals fraction numerator 8 straight b over denominator straight R end fraction

OR

straight b space equals straight R over 8 straight T subscript straight c over straight P subscript straight c

space space space equals fraction numerator 0.082 cross times 304.2 over denominator 8 cross times 72.9 end fraction

space straight b equals 0.04277 space lit divided by mol

space space space space equals 42.77 space cm cubed

straight b space equals 4 straight N subscript straight A 4 over 3 πr cubed

therefore straight r cubed equals space space fraction numerator 3 cross times 42.77 cross times 10 to the power of negative 23 end exponent over denominator 16 cross times 6.023 cross times 3.14 end fraction

space space space straight r cubed equals 0.424 cross times 10 to the power of negative 23 end exponent

straight r space equals open parentheses 4.24 close parentheses cross times 10 to the power of negative 24 end exponent

straight r equals open parentheses 4.24 close parentheses to the power of bevelled 1 third end exponent cross times 10 to the power of negative 8 end exponent space space cm

straight r equals space 1.62 cross times 10 to the power of negative 8 end exponent space space cm

straight r equals 1.62 space to the power of ring operator straight A
The radius of CO2 is 1.62 °A.
