The van der Waals equation includes corrections to the ideal gas equation for gases that deviates from the ideal behavior. The constants a and b in the equation are called the van der Waals constants which vary from one gas to another. The value of a for Xenon is 4.19 (L2•atm)/mol2. Determine the value of a for Xe if the pressure was measured in bars.
