Any equation of state valid for gases in the zero-pressure limit implies a full set of virial coefficients. Show that the second and third virial coefficients implied by the generic cubic equation of state, Eq. (3.41), are:
Specialize the result for B to the Redlich/Kwong equation of state, express it in reduced form, and compare it numerically with the generalized correlation for B for simple fluids, Eq. (3.61). Discuss what you find.
