Suppose that

(a) The attractive interactions between gas particles can be neglected.

(b) The attractive interaction is dominant in a van der Waals gas, and the pressure is low enough to make the approximation 4ap/(RT)2 << 1. Find expressions for the fugacity of a van der Waals gas in terms of the pressure and estimate its value for ammonia at 10.00atm and 298.15 K in each case.
