Van der Waals' equation of state for an imperfect gas is (P+)(v-b) = RT, a where P is the absolute pressure (atm), v is the molar volume (liter/g mole), T is the absolute temperature (K), R is the gas constant (0.082054 liter atm/g mol K), and a and b are constants that depend on the particular gas. If P = 20 atm and T = 500 K, to solve the molar volume of carbon dioxide, use (a) fzero (refer to Mathworks site for fzero function) to find the root, (b) Newton's method for which a = [Use tolerance 0.001]. You may wish to use the initial guess vo ideal gas. 3.592 liter? atm/(g mole)2 and b= 0.04267 liter/g mole. RT/P from the law of
