Answer
(B) $8.9atm$
Work Step by Step
We can calculate the pressure, using van der Walls equation as follows:
$(P+\frac{an^2}{V^2})(V-nb)=nRT$
We plug in the known values to obtain:
$(P+\frac{(3.59)(1.5)^2}{(3.75)^2})(3.75-(1.5)(0.0427))=(1.5)(0.08206)(283.15)$
This simplifies to:
$P=8.9atm$
Thus, option (B) is correct.
