Chemistry The critical temperature and critical pressure of xenon are 289.73 K and 5.840 MPa: a. Calculate the values of the van der Waals constants a and b b. Determine the value of the compression factor for xenon at reduced temperature of 1.25 and reduced pressure of 1.75. My answer for a) was: Constant a = 4.14 dm^3 atm mol^-1 Constant b = 5.16 x 10^-2 dm^3 mol^-1. Not sure how to solve for Z when the molar volume is not stated??
