The van der Waals equation of state was designed (by Dutch physicist Johannes van der Waals) to predict the relationship between pressure $$p$$, volume $$V$$ and temperature $$T$$ for gases better than the Ideal Gas Law does: $$\left(p+a\frac{n^2}{V^2}\right)(V?nb)=nRT$$ The van der Waals equation of state. $$R$$ stands for the gas constant and $$n$$ for moles of gas. The parameters $$a$$ and $$b$$ must be determined for each gas from experimental data. Use the van der Waals equation to answer the questions in the table below.
