O2 (g) is sealed in a container at t=200k and p=43.0 bar. Using various techniques the compression factor, Z, for O2(g) in this container was determined to be 0.802
a. assuming that O2 (g) behaves as a perfect gas, calculate Vm for O2 in this container
b. assuming that o2 (g) behaves as a van der waal's gas, calculate Vm for O2 (g) in this container
c. use the definition of z to determine Vm for O2 in this container.
d. compare these three calculated values of Vm and explain briefly why they are different. Which one of the 3 models is closest to the true value of Vm for O2(g) in this container? why is your chosen model most accurate
