Problem 5.49

Use the result of the previous problem and the approximate values of $a$ and $b$ given in the text to estimate $T_c$ , $P_c$ , and $V_c/N$ for $N_2$ , $H_2O$ , and $He.$ (Tabulated values of $a$ and $b$ are often determined by working backward from the measured critical temperature and pressure.)
