Question: 2. (6 points) Unusual for Atkins, by exception, the values of a and b in the van der Waals equation are given in Latm

2. (6 points) Unusual for Atkins, by exception, the values of a 

2. (6 points) Unusual for Atkins, by exception, the values of a and b in the van der Waals equation are given in Latm units! In this problem, do the conversion for propane, C3Hs. For propane, the values in Latm units are a = 8.85 atm.L2.mol-2 and b = 8.45x105 dm. mol-. Convert these values to SI units: Pa.m.mol-2 for a and m.mol- for b. Remember that 1 L = 1 dm. Show your work! 1 a= b= Pa.m.mol-2 m.mol-1
