Calculate the density of O 2 (g) at 480. K and 280. bar using the ideal gas

Question:

Calculate the density of O2(g) at 480. K and 280. bar using the ideal gas and the van der Waals equations of state. Use a numerical equation solver to solve the van der Waals equation for Vm or use an iterative approach starting with Vm equal to the ideal gas result. Based on your result, does the attractive or repulsive contribution to the interaction potential dominate under these conditions? The experimentally determined result is 208 g/L. What is the relative error of each of your two calculations?
