Chemistry Gas Question Graph
Hi, I have a question about gasses and a plot for pv vs. p
I have a graph similar to this [url=http://www.docbrown.info/page03/3_52states/PVgraph2.jpg]one[/url] except the pressures are between 0 and 1 atm and my pv values are all ~22.3. We are assuming 1mol and 0 degrees C of CO2.
How would I be able to determine the RT value using the plot. Apparently this equation is needed but we've never used it before. PV = RT + BP where B is a constant.
Here is the plot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
edit: i thought it might have something to do with the slope of the graph but im not at all sure

No, the next question is to solve for B. Apparently RT is from the plot according to the question but my instructor said that the equation is helpful for something.
do you know what B is?
