At 273K the second virial coefficient of a gas is B=−21.5mLmol−1. The pressure-series coefficient B′=B/RT, in units of 10−4atm−1 (one decimal, R=0.0821LatmK−1mol−1), is
Numerical answer type, answer in 1e-4 atm^-1, tolerance 0.2.
Answer: -9.6 1e-4 atm^-1
B′=RTB=0.0821×273−0.0215=22.413−0.0215=−9.5925e−04atm−1, i.e. −9.6×10−4atm−1.
