A 0.2-m³ tank contains 8.6×10²6 molecules of CO₂ at 15 MPa. Compute the (a) specific volume. Also, determine the temperature in the tank using (b) the Van der Waals equation, (c) Beatti-Bridgeman equation and (d) Benedict-Webb-Rubin equation of state. Compare each temperature you obtained with the actual value (which is 379.01 K) by computing the % error. For (c) and (d), it is advisable to use a spreadsheet program to take advantage of its Solver function.
