Problem

Determine the lowest-order corrections to the ideal-gas values of the Helmholtz free energy, the Gibbs free energy, the entropy, the internal energy, the enthalpy and the (constant-volume and constant-pressure) specific heats for a real gas. Discuss the temperature dependence of these corrections in the case of a gas whose molecules interact through the potential of Problem 9.5.
