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. The expansion you will need is (1 − x)−1 = 1 + x + x2 + … . Measurements on argon gave B = −21.7 cm3 mol−1 and C = 1200 cm6 mol−2 for the virial coefficients at 273 K. What are the values of a and b in the corresponding van der Waals equation of state?

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

Idk how to do this at all!!!
sergey [27]
Hello there!

I am not really sure which part you are talking about but let me answer some of them.

First, you need to read the information they gave you about glucose etc..

13- What is produced in photosynthesis?
"Photosynthesis is essential for all life on earth, because it provides food and oxygen."

Thus, the answer is: Photosynthesis produced food and oxygen.

14- What is the glucose used for?
"The glucose produced is used by the plant for energy and growth."

Thus, the answer is: The glucose used for energy and growth of the plants.

15- What is the oxygen used for?
"The oxygen produced is released into the air for us to breath."

Thus, the answer is: The oxygen used for us to breath.


I hope this helps!

Let me know if you have questions about the answer.

Sulfur does not dissolve in water but it does dissolve in carbon disulfide
Lynna [10]
It is really difficult to dissolve the sulfur substance because not only is it polar, but it is composed of long S-chains and not only atoms. So, water cannot dissolve the sulfur because nonpolar compounds do not dissolve in polar solvents. Sulfur doesn't always dissolve with nonpolar solvents, as well. However, since carbon disulfide also contains S-chains, it is the best solvent that would dissolve sulfur.

An ionic solid is placed in water. which information is described by the solubility product constant?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{C. the equilibrium between the solid and its ions in solution}}

Explanation:

\rm MX(s) $\, \rightleftharpoons \,$ M$^{+}$(aq) + $^{-}$(aq); $K_{\text{sp}}$ = [M$^{+}$][X$^{-}$]\\\\\text{$K_{\text{sp}}$ gives us information on}\\\\\boxed{\textbf{ the equilibrium between the solid and its ions in solution}}

It tells us nothing about the amount of precipitate that will form or the temperature at which the equilibrium occurs.
