a Chemical Engineer, and is hired by General Electric to help design their next generation nuclear power plant. Angela's nuclear power plant uses water that is pressurized and heated so much that it goes well above its critical point, where the water is neither a "liquid" or a "gas", and the ideal gas law (PV = nRT) no longer works. Forcing Angela to use the van der Waal equation: Where for water: a =5.536 \times 10-4 kPa-mo mot 6 = 3.049 \times 10-5 m3 mol If (in a smaller prototype) Angela's power plant takes 5 moles of water at 1,000 K that has an initial volume of 3 m3 and then has it undergo isothermal expansion until it reaches a volume of 6m?, how much work was generated by her power plant?
