. If the van der Waals equation is solved for volume, a cubic equation is obtained. (a) Derive the equation below by rearranging equation (6.26). (b) What is the volume, in liters, occupied by at a pressure of 12.5 atm and 286 K? For and [Hint: Use the ideal gas equation to obtain an estimate of the volume. Then refine your estimate, either by trial and error, or using the method of successive approximations. See Appendix A, pages A5 A6, for a description of the method of successive approximations.]
