Question:

The following conversation was overheard in the corridors of a large engineering firm. Mw engineer: "Hi, boss, Why the big smile?"
Old-timer: "1 finally won a wager with Harry Carey, from Research. He bet me that I couldn't come up with a quick but accurate estimate for the molar volume of argon at 30 (C and 300 bar. Nothing to it; I used the ideal-gas equation, and got about 83 cm3 mol-1. Harry shook his head, but paid up. What do you think about that?"
New engineer (consulting his thermo text): "I think you must be living right."
Argon at the stated conditions is not an ideal gas. Demonstrate numerically why the old-timer won his wager.
