Question 1098066: The Van der Waals equation can be given by the following modification of the Ideal Gas Law equation
(P+an^2/V^2)(V−bn)=nRT
Solve this equation for a, the measure of attractive force between two particles.

(P+an^2/V^2)(V - bn) = nRT
Solve this equation for a
-----------------
an^2/V^2 = -P + nRT/(V - bn)
an^2 = V^2*(-P + nRT/(V - bn))
