For a real gas 'X'the Boyle point is `240^@C`. If the van der Waals constant 'b'is `0.08 dm^3 mol^(-1)`, calculate the value of constant 'a'for 'X'.

Explanation

The Boyle point, `T_b` is given as `T_b =(a)/( RB )`
Van der Waals constant .a. for the gas .X.
` = T_b xx R xx b = 513 xx 0.0821 xx 0.08`
` = 3.374 atm L^2 mol^(-2)`
