    [Thermo] Derivation of compressibility factor vs reduced pressure

    After solving the Van der Waals equation for the compressibility factor and deriving the critical temperature, pressure, and volume knowing that a horizontal inflection point occurs on the isotherm at critical point am I supposed to solve PV3-(Pb+RT)V2+aV-ab=0 for the cubic root?
