Chapter 1, Problem 1C.9P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The coefficients, $a$ and $b$ in the Dieterici equation of state of xenon using critical constants have to be stated.  The pressure exerted by $1\text{mol}$ of xenon under given conditions has to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The Dieterici equation of state is represented by the formula given below as,

  $p=\frac{nRT}{V-nb}\exp \left(-\frac{an}{RTV}\right)$

Where,

$p$ is the total pressure.

$V$ is the volume of gas.

$R$ is the gas constant.

$T$ is the temperature.

$n$ is the number of moles of gas.

$a,b$ are the constants of Dieterici equation of state.
