The experimental critical constants of CH 4 are found in Table 7.2. Use the values of Pc

Question:

The experimental critical constants of CHare found in Table 7.2. Use the values of Pc and Tc to calculate Vc. Assume that CH4 behaves as 

a. An ideal gas

b. A van der Waals gas

c. A Redlich–Kwong gas at the critical point. For parts (b) and (c), use the formulas for the critical compression factor. Compare your answers with the experimental value. Are any of your calculated results close to the experimental value in Table 7.2?
