Problem 2.201

Knowing the Van der Waals constants, find: (a) the maximum volume which water of mass \(m=1.00 \mathrm{~kg}\) can occupy in liquid state; (b) the maximum pressure of the saturated water vapour.

Reveal Answer
 (a) Vmax⁡=3bm/M=5.0l (b) pmax=a/27b2=230 atm. \text { (a) } V_{\max }=3 b m / M=5.0 \mathrm{l} \text { (b) } p_{m a x}=a / 27 b^{2}=230 \text { atm. }
