At 273 K measurements on argon gave \(B=-21.7 \mathrm{cm}^{3} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}\) and \(C=1200 \mathrm{cm}^{6} \mathrm{mol}^{-2}\), where B and C are the second and third virial coefficients in the expansion of Z in powers of \(1 / V_{\mathrm{m}}\). Assuming that the perfect gas law holds sufficiently well for the estimation of the molar volume, calculate the compression factor of argon at 100 atm and 273 K. From your result, estimate the molar volume of argon under these conditions.
