Question

One of the earliest lasers, developed in 1960, used ruby as a lasing medium. The population inversion required to produce lasing was achieved using a Xenon gas lamp.The second virial

coefficient B of Xenon at 373.15 K is -81.7 cm3/mol. A 10 x 10-3mol sample of Xenon expands reversibly and isothermally at 373.15 K and its volume increases from 3.00 cm³ to 8.00 cm³. Use the virial expansion as far as the term containing the second virial coefficient to calculate w. Blank 1: Calculate w in Joules (include at least one digit after the decimal point) Blank 2: What is the ideal part? (include at least one digit after the decimal point) Blank 3: What is the correction (second term)? (include at least one digit after the decimal point)
