For a gas obeying the equation of state given by RT v v a P = + 2 , the values of the critical volume and the critical temperature are 0.004 m3/kg and 100 °C, respectively. If the value of the gas constant is 250 J/(kg.K), then the value of the constant ‘a’ is _____________ (N.m4/kg2). Note that the critical point is the point of inflection on the critical isotherm.
