6.5 is subtracted from each number.
9 - 6.5 = 2.5
2.5 - 6.5 = -4
-4 - 6.5 = -10.5
-10.5 - 6.5 = -17
or you could think of adding -6.5 to everything if that is easier for you to picture.

Express the van der Waals equation of state as a virial expansion in powers of 1/Vm and obtain expressions for B and C in terms

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

$PV_{m} = RT[1 + (b-\frac{a}{RT})\frac{1}{V_{m} } + \frac{b^{2} }{V^{2} _{m} } + ...]$

B = b -a/RT

C = b^2

a = 1.263 atm*L^2/mol^2

b = 0.03464 L/mol

Explanation:

In the given question, we need to express the van der Waals equation of state as a virial expansion in powers of 1/Vm and obtain expressions for B and C in terms of the parameters a and b. Therefore:

Using the van deer Waals equation of state:

$P = \frac{RT}{V_{m}-b } - \frac{a}{V_{m} ^{2} }$

With further simplification, we have:

$P = RT[\frac{1}{V_{m}-b } - \frac{a}{RTV_{m} ^{2} }]$

Then, we have:

$P = \frac{RT}{V_{m} } [\frac{1}{1-\frac{b}{V_{m} } } - \frac{a}{RTV_{m} }]$

Therefore,

$PV_{m} = RT[(1-\frac{b}{V_{m} }) ^{-1} - \frac{a}{RTV_{m} }]$

Using the expansion:

$(1-x)^{-1} = 1 + x + x^{2} + ....$

Therefore,

$PV_{m} = RT[1+\frac{b}{V_{m} }+\frac{b^{2} }{V_{m} ^{2} } + ... -\frac{a}{RTV_{m} }]$

Thus:

$PV_{m} = RT[1 + (b-\frac{a}{RT})\frac{1}{V_{m} } + \frac{b^{2} }{V^{2} _{m} } + ...]$ equation (1)

Using the virial equation of state:

$P = RT[\frac{1}{V_{m} }+ \frac{B}{V_{m} ^{2}}+\frac{C}{V_{m} ^{3} }+ ...]$

Thus:

$PV_{m} = RT[1+ \frac{B}{V_{m} }+ \frac{C}{V_{m} ^{2} } + ...]$ equation (2)

Comparing equations (1) and (2), we have:

B = b -a/RT

C = b^2

Using the measurements on argon gave B = −21.7 cm3 mol−1 and C = 1200 cm6 mol−2 for the virial coefficients at 273 K.

$b = \sqrt{C} = \sqrt{1200} = 34.64[tex]cm^{3}/mol$ [/tex] = 0.03464 L/mol

a = (b-B)*RT = (34.64+21.7)*(1L/1000cm^3)*(0.0821)*(273) = 1.263 atm*L^2/mol^2

Answer:

As the temperature of the water increases, the time needed for the dye to spread decreases. This is because the kinetic energy between the liquid particles increases, therefore helping the dye to dissolve and spread throughout the water.

Caleb has a 860-kilogram car sitting in his back yard, gathering rust.

emmasim [6.3K]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

A. 860 kg

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

To answer the question we need to understand that;

Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object.
Weight, on the other hand, refers to the gravitational pull of an object to a given surface.
Mass is measured using a spring balance.

We also need to know that;

The mass of an object remains constant every where irrespective of the gravitational acceleration.

Therefore, an object on the surface of the earth would have the same mass as on the surface of the moon.
In this case; the mass of the car remains the same on the outer space as on the back yard.
