Chapter 1, Problem 1C.20P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pressure and temperature of ammonia at which it is in corresponding state with argon under the given conditions has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

According to the principle of corresponding states, the real gases that have the same reduced pressure, temperature and volume are said to correspond.

The corresponding states in terms of pressure, temperature and volume are given as,

    $\begin{array}{c}\text{p}\text{=}{\text{p}}_{\text{r}}{\text{p}}_{\text{c}}\\ \\ \text{T}{\text{= T}}_{\text{r}}{\text{T}}_{\text{c}}\\ \\ {\text{V = V}}_{\text{r}}{\text{V}}_{\text{c}}\end{array}$
