Question 1 Consider the Relich-Kwong equation of state P = \frac{RT}{v-b} - \frac{a}{v(v+b)\sqrt{T}}P=v−bRT−v(v +b)Ta

For methane, a = 32.19a=32.19 bar(m^33/(kg\cdot⋅mol) )^22 K^{0.5}0.5 and b = 0.02969b=0.02969 m^33/(kg\cdot⋅mol) .

Find the specific volume at the critical point predicted by this equation in m^33/kmol.

well in order to answer this question you have to provide more information < 3

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
