Problem #47

When solving for V in terms of V-vap and V-liq, is it ok to assume that V-liq will be negligible?

This is probably a pretty good assumption that will simplify your calculations, provided the temperature is sufficiently sub-critical and V-vap and V-liq differ quite a bit in magnitude (e.g., V-vap is ~1000 times as large).
