- It turns out van der Waals was very careful when “designing” the van der Waals equation: P = [RT / (Vm−b)] − (a / V^2m). If you’re not sure, let’s see why he divided the "a" term by V^2m and not Vm.

- A triatomic molecule can have a linear configuration, as does CO2 (as shown), or it can be nonlinear, like H2O (as shown). Suppose the temperature of a gas of triatomic molecules is sufficiently low that vibrational motion is negligible. What is the molar specific heat at constant volume, expressed as a multiple of the universal gas constant, (a) if the molecules are linear and (b) if the molecules are nonlinear? At high temperatures, a triatomic molecule has two modes of vibration, and each contributes 1/2 R to the molar specific heat for its kinetic energy and another 1/2 R for its potential energy. Identify the high-temperature molarspecific heat at constant volume for a triatomic ideal gas of (c) linear molecules and (d) nonlinear molecules.
