Vm
Since this equation goes on to an infinite number of terms and succeeding terms give less
and less contribution to the compressibility factor, taking only into account a few terms is
enough for a good approximation.

Z = 1+
= 1+ B'P + C'p²
The virial coefficients for the volume-based equation at 25 K are: B = –106.2-

relationship:
B = RTB',
C = (RT)²C'
With these, answer the following:
