?Equation (3.34) when truncated to four terms accurately represents the volumetric data

Chapter 3, Problem 3.52

(choose chapter or problem)

Equation (3.34) when truncated to four terms accurately represents the volumetric data for methane gas at 0°C with:

\(B = −53.4 cm^{3} \cdot mol^{−1}\)  \(C = 2620 cm^{6} \cdot mol^{−2}\)   \(D = 5000 cm^{9} \cdpt mol^{−3}\)

(a) Use these data to prepare a plot of Z vs. P for methane at 0°C from 0 to 200 bar.

(b) To what pressures do Eqs. (3.36) and (3.37) provide good approximations?
