Question:

Even in the days of van der Waals, the second virial coefficient for square-well fluids (λ = 1.5) was known to be B/b = 4 + 9.5 [exp(NAε/RT) -1]. Noting that ex ~ 1 + x + x2/2 + …, this observation suggests the following equation of state:Z = 1 + 4bp 1-bp 9.5NE -bp RT

Derive an expression for the Helmholtz energy departure function for this equation of state.
