Question

For a fluid obeying the Virial equation of state to first order (Z-1+B*rho), with B = -2 x 104m3/mol compute the difference Cp-Cy at a temperature of 424 K and

a pressure of 12.0bar. Report your answer in J/(mol K) to the nearest J/(mol K). Hint: this equation of state has two solutions; the lower density solution is the only physically meaningful one for reasons we will learn soon, so be sure to use the low density solution.
