The P - V isotherms of 3 moles C O 2 described by the van der Waals equation ( vdW eqn ) are shown in

The P-V isotherms of 3 moles CO2 described by the van der Waals equation (vdW eqn) are shown in Figure 3. In the process of isothermal compression from gas volume V2 to liquid volume Vlin at Psat below Tcr.(a) Briefly explain the physical process between Vin and V8. Are the curves reasonable? What do you expect for a reasonable curve? Choose the proper equation from the given ones below to describe where the decreased energy of gas comes from and go to?(5 points) Please (b) calculate the volume and critical volume of CO2 molecules. (5 points)(c) Calculate the interactive pressure between CO2 molecules at the critical point. Will the interactive pressure increase or decrease the actual gas pressure P?(5 points)(d) Calculate the work W280 and W300 done by the gas at 280 and 300K.(5 points)(e) Calculate the changed internal energy U280 and U300 at 280 and 300K.(5 points)(f) Calculate the changed enthalpy at 280 and 300K and explain the observed energy and phase changes in (d),(e), and (f).(5 points) Given R=0.082atm*liter(K*mole)=8.314J(K*mole),V280liq=0.085,V280g=0.265,V300liq=0.105,V300g=0.155 liter for 1 mole. All pressures in Figure 3 are the saturation pressure Psat at each temperature. The critical pressure and temperature Pcr=72.9atm and Tcr=304K. Given vdW eqn (P+n2aV2)(V-nb)=nRT,H=U+PV,dU=TdS-PdV, and (delSdelV)P=(delPdelT)V. NOTE: Be careful about mole number!
