Question: Problem 1 ( 2 0 points ) For a non - ideal gas obeying the Van der Waals equation ( P + a ? b

Problem 1(20 points)
For a non-ideal gas obeying the Van der Waals equation
(P+a?bar(v)2)(?bar(v)-b)?b=ar(R)T
Using the fact that at the critical point must be
(dPd(?bar(v)))cr=0, and ,(d2Pdbar(v)2)cr=0
Prove the following relations between the constants a e b and the critical pressure and
temperature
Pcr=a27b2,Tcr=8a27bar(R)b
