The van der Waals constants for a substance are `a=300.003 kPa dm^(6)mol^(-2)` and `b=40.8 cm^(3) mol^(-1)`. Find the critical constants of this substance.

Explanation

To find the critical constants (critical volume, critical temperature, and critical pressure) for the given substance using the van der Waals constants \( a \) and \( b \), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the Critical Volume
The critical volume (\( V_c \)) can be calculated using the formula:
\[ V_c = 3b \]
Given \( b = 40.8 \, \text{cm}^3 \, \text{mol}^{-1} \), we can substitute this value into the formula:
