Homework Statement
The following equations of state are occasionally used for approximate calculations on gases: (gas A) pVm = RT(1+b/Vm), (gas B) p(Vm -b) = RT. Assuming that there were gases that actually obeyed these equations of state, would it be possible to liquefy either gas A or B? Would they have a critical temperature? Explain your answer.
Homework Equations
I'm thinking it has something to do with maybe the phase diagrams of these gases? Or maybe the compressibility factor. I know the answer is NO, but can someone please explain it to me?
The Attempt at a Solution
See above.
Thanks!
