32.The virial equation of state of a gas can be approximated at low pressure as


where pis the pressure,V


m

is the molar volume, Tis the temperature, Ris the gas


constant, and Bis the second virial coefficient. Express Bas an explicit function of the


other variables.


33.Kohlrausch’s law for the molar conductivityΛ


m

of a strong electrolyte at low


concentration cis


whereΛ

m

is the molar conductivity at infinite dilution and Kis a constant. Express cas


an explicit function ofΛ

34.The Langmuir adsorption isotherm


gives the fractional coverage θof a surface by adsorbed gas at pressure p, where Kis a


constant. Express pin terms of θ.


35.In Example 2.12 on the van der Waals equation, verify the explicit expressions given for


Tand p, and the cubic equation in V.
