Problem 2.12 Solution a) Vaper. 'b) The molar mass can be obtained from the relationship between molar volume and density Mm an te oF Mn = 0 ‘We know density at two pressures, so we need the molar volume in one of them. We choose the lowest pressure because at 0.01 we ate justified (below) to assume ideal-as state Jusifcation: ‘The erica pressure is not known but it must be higher than the saturation pressure at 28 C, ‘which s 4.3 bat That i, the reduced pressure is at ost, 20 bar exter From geez grape lr tht a ch low red peste h tt sel ie ‘te mot ome = 0.0002 RT _ @.3143/m0l/K) 298.15 K) 0 Te = 247882 m'/mot ‘The molar mass is My = (0.177 kg/m?)

The reduced pressure is not known but it must be less than 20 bar 643 bar since the critical pressure mast be higher than 64.3 bar. From generalized graphs we sce that for 7; 2 1, the isotherm inthe pressure range P, = O up io about 0.31 is quite lies: This of course sa judgement call ‘bur iss good as we can do with the information we have Solving the truncated virial for B Mu RT aav-St ‘My.
