1.  STATE  THE  PROBLEM:  
-­-­-­Describe  the  problem  to  be  solved  for  the  assignment.  
 
In  1873,  Johannes  Diderik  van  der  Waals  proposed  a  version  of  the  
ideal  gas  law  that  models  the  behavior  of  real  gases  over  a  wide    
range  of  temperature  and  pressure  than  previous  equations.  The      
ideal  gas  law  describes  the  relationships  between  pressure  (p),    
temperature  (T),  volume  (V)  and  the  number  of  moles  of  gas  (n).

b                  0.03049  L/mol    
ideal  gas  constant,  R   0.08314472  L  bar/K  mol  
 
     OUTPUT  (unknowns):

Before you start writing your program:

Using a Software Development Model to plan your solution for this assignment problem may seem trivial, but it
allows you to get familiar with the process. Open devPlan.txt in Notepad, type your plan into the template
file and save it as devPlan02.txt. Note: Your test data should be hand calculations that allow you to test
the correctness of you program²127\RX¶UHWKHRXWSXWRI\RXUSURJUDP.

In 1873, Johannes Diderik van der Waals proposed a version of the
ideal gas law that models the behavior of real gases over a wide range of temperature and pressure than
previous equations. The ideal gas law describes the relationships between pressure (p), temperature (T), volume
(V) and the number of moles of gas (n). The additional symbol, R, represents the ideal-gas constant.

In this equation the additional variables a and b represent values characteristic of individual gases.

Use 9DQGHU:DDOV¶ideal gas law equation to calculate the temperature of water vapor (steam), given the
following data.
