Steam at high pressures and temperatures is used to generate electrical power in utility plants. A large utility boiler has a volume of 2500 m³

and contains 140 metric tons (1 metric ton = 10³
kg) of steam at a temperature of 540°C. Use the van der Waals equation to estimate the
pressure of the steam under these conditions, in atmospheres and in pounds per square inch.
