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

At construction sites, workers often reduce erosion by ____.

Naddik [55]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>All the above</em>

Workers at construction sites often reduce erosion by;

<em>Moving excess sediment back to its original location </em>
<em>Planting trees </em>
<em>Spraying water on bare soil</em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process which involves the wearing away of the topsoil by natural forces such as wind, water or other forces associated with farming.
<em><u>Construction of roads and buildings results to large amounts of soil erosion around the world. It is therefore important to put measures that would help reduce soil erosion at construction sites</u></em>. These measures uses principals of soil control such as implementing sediment control, limiting soil exposure, reducing the runoff velocity, and modifying topography among others.

What does vinegar do to eggs

andre [41]

Eggshells are made primarily of calcium carbonate. The acid in vinegar softens the calcium of the eggshell. Adding a little vinegar to the water when boiling eggs is an old cook’s trick that makes them easier to peel.
