A 0.103-m³ tank contains 8.6×1026 molecules of N2 at 17 MPa. Compute the (a) specific volume. Also, determine the temperature in the tank using (b) the Van der Waals equation, (c) Beattie- Bridgeman equation and (d) Benedict-Webb-Rubin equation of state. Compare each temperature you obtained with the actual value (which is 182.8 K) by computing the % error.
