Answer:
![PV_{m} = RT[1 + (b-\frac{a}{RT})\frac{1}{V_{m} } + \frac{b^{2} }{V^{2} _{m} } + ...]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=PV_%7Bm%7D%20%3D%20RT%5B1%20%2B%20%28b-%5Cfrac%7Ba%7D%7BRT%7D%29%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7BV_%7Bm%7D%20%7D%20%2B%20%5Cfrac%7Bb%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%7BV%5E%7B2%7D%20_%7Bm%7D%20%7D%20%2B%20...%5D)
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:

With further simplification, we have:
![P = RT[\frac{1}{V_{m}-b } - \frac{a}{RTV_{m} ^{2} }]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%20%3D%20RT%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7BV_%7Bm%7D-b%20%7D%20-%20%5Cfrac%7Ba%7D%7BRTV_%7Bm%7D%20%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%5D)
Then, we have:
![P = \frac{RT}{V_{m} } [\frac{1}{1-\frac{b}{V_{m} } } - \frac{a}{RTV_{m} }]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7BRT%7D%7BV_%7Bm%7D%20%7D%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B1-%5Cfrac%7Bb%7D%7BV_%7Bm%7D%20%7D%20%7D%20-%20%5Cfrac%7Ba%7D%7BRTV_%7Bm%7D%20%7D%5D)
Therefore,
![PV_{m} = RT[(1-\frac{b}{V_{m} }) ^{-1} - \frac{a}{RTV_{m} }]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=PV_%7Bm%7D%20%3D%20RT%5B%281-%5Cfrac%7Bb%7D%7BV_%7Bm%7D%20%7D%29%20%5E%7B-1%7D%20-%20%5Cfrac%7Ba%7D%7BRTV_%7Bm%7D%20%7D%5D)
Using the expansion:

Therefore,
![PV_{m} = RT[1+\frac{b}{V_{m} }+\frac{b^{2} }{V_{m} ^{2} } + ... -\frac{a}{RTV_{m} }]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=PV_%7Bm%7D%20%3D%20RT%5B1%2B%5Cfrac%7Bb%7D%7BV_%7Bm%7D%20%7D%2B%5Cfrac%7Bb%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%7BV_%7Bm%7D%20%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%20%2B%20...%20-%5Cfrac%7Ba%7D%7BRTV_%7Bm%7D%20%7D%5D)
Thus:
equation (1)
Using the virial equation of state:
![P = RT[\frac{1}{V_{m} }+ \frac{B}{V_{m} ^{2}}+\frac{C}{V_{m} ^{3} }+ ...]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%20%3D%20RT%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7BV_%7Bm%7D%20%7D%2B%20%5Cfrac%7BB%7D%7BV_%7Bm%7D%20%5E%7B2%7D%7D%2B%5Cfrac%7BC%7D%7BV_%7Bm%7D%20%5E%7B3%7D%20%7D%2B%20...%5D)
Thus:
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.
[/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:
Mendeleev had left the noble gases out of his periodic table.
Explanation:
Mendeleev's periodic table is pictured in the image attached to the question.
Mendeleev's table obviously lacked the noble gases. The reason for this grave omission is simple; the noble gases were not known as at the time when he formulated his periodic table. There weren't any known elements whose properties were similar to the properties of the noble gases. This would have lead him to suspect their existence.
0.001 would be the smallest.
Good Luck! :)
