Homework Statement
...For each of the temperatures...compute the second term in the virial equation ##B(T)/(V/n)##, for nitrogen at atmospheric pressure.
Homework Equations
##PV = nRT(1+\frac{B(T)}{V/n}+\frac{C(T)}{(V/n)^2}+...)##
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm given a list of temperatures and values for B(T), for starters, Let T=100K giving B(T)= -160 (cm^3/mol).
I think I'm misunderstanding the question maybe. I'm confused on how I'm supposed to calculate the second term when I need the volume, but to find volume I need the second term. I'm also assuming I can just consider 1 mol of nitrogen.
