A graduate student wants to use van der Waals' equation to express the pressure-volume- temperature relations for a gas. Her project requires a reasonable degree of precision in the p-V-T calculations. Therefore, she made the following experimental measurements with her setup to get an idea of how easy the experiment would be: Temperature, K Pressure, atm Volume, ft/lb mol 1.860 200 0.741 273.1 273.1 1000 Determine values of constants a and b to be used in van der Waals' equation that best fit the experimental data.
