Homework Statement
Use the “virial equation of state”. Measurements for Ar gave B = -21.7 cm3/mol and C = 1200 cm6 /mol-2. Assuming that Ar is a van der Waals-type gas, what are the values of “a” and “b” in the corresponding van der Waals
equation of state
Homework Equations
PV= RT(1+ B/V +C/V^2 ...)
[p+(a/V^2)][V-b]= RT
The Attempt at a Solution
I have to convert the virial equation of state to the van der waals equation i think, but am unsure how to do it. It's been some time since my last calculus course so any help would be appreciated!
