This problem concerns a compound that has the following physical properties:

Critical Temperature = 1000 K
Critical Pressure = 25 atm
Boiling temperature at atmospheric pressure = 400 K
Molar Volume of saturated liquid at atmospheric pressure = 0.3 L/mol
Enthalpy of vaporization at atmospheric pressure = 15 kJ/mol

In the gaseous or vapor phase, is described by the equation of state
PV = RT + (BP3)

Where B = 0.05 L-mol-1atm-2and R = 0.08206 L-atm/mol-K = 8.314 J/mol-K

A) Derive an algebraic (i.e., no differentials or integrals) expression for the fugacity of this compound as a function of temperature, pressure, and known constants.
B) Give your best estimate of the fugacity of this compound in the vapor phase at T=500 K and P=10 atm.
C) Give your best estimate of the fugacity of this compound in the liquid phase at T=500 K and P=10 atm.
D) Based on your answers to B and C, is this compound a liquid or a vapor at T=500 K and P=10 atm?








The compound is a liquid @ P = 10 atm and T = 500 K, which is shown both by f^L
