Find the compressibility factor of ammonia gas at conditions from 50 to 250atm and 400k
using the Redlich-kwong Soave equation of state in Excel. ( Hint: before begining your
spreadsheet, think about how you can organize it so that you can copy formulas from cell to
cell easily.)

DISCUSSION
I obtained the other data needed for the calculation from the ChemSep software, versi
The three answers obtained appear to be fairly close together, as they can be easily
approximated to 41 l/g mol. Therefore, it can be concluded that the gas behaves ideally

to be more accurate than the Redlich-Kwong EOS.
Unlike at 1 atm, the specific volume values here are not quite close together. Thus, as th
pressure is increased, the gas begins to deviate from ideal conditions. Consequently, th
Redlich-Kwong EOS appears to show greater deviation from the ideal gas value than the
Redlich-Kwong-Soave EOS. Also, the specific volume decreases as the pressure is incre
