8. Consider a gas with the equation of state P - RT(1/V+ a/V + b/V). Usually one finds the critical pressure P, critical temperature T, and critical molar volume Vm, in terms of a, b, and R. Here solve for a and b in terms of critical constant(s) and then evaluate the critical pressure. Why can you not determine the critical temperature from the criteria of an inflection point? [a --Vcl
