Okay there is just one more fact. The bulb, is formed by pumping air into melted metal, cooled and only then moved into space and then happens what happens. By the way the teacher says that the problem is solvable.

Actually the state is given as gaseous. After the bulb cracks, it expends as gas.

In my problem a = 0.137 Nm^4/moll^2 Considering that van-der Waals` formula is (P+a/V^2)(V-b)=RT for one moll of matter.

In my problem a = 0.137 Nm^4/mol^2

Well as I checked it couple of tables in my books and on the internet 0.137 is quite reasonable number.

There is no information about the location of the bulb. Its mentioned that the bulb is made of some kind of highly melting metal.

Come on guys, think...

Anybody, somebody...

Yes, its -6.6K.

Well that is how the problem is given.

Bulb with volume of 5 liters is filled with nitrogen n = 3 molls. The bulb is set in space, the bulb cracks and the gas starts to expand. The nitrogen is considered as a real gas. Find the change in temperature. Joseph van der Waals' constant equals 0.137.
