Why does van der Waals' equation of state give only one P, V pair for a particular temperature here?
I came across this question which I initially ignored believing that the data was insufficient:
Calculate the pressure exerted by one mole of $\ce{CO2}$ gas at $\pu{273 K}$ if the van der Waals' ...

What are analytical expressions for the isothermal change of Gibbs energy?
The change of Gibbs energy at constant temperature and species numbers, $\Delta G$, is given by an integral $\int_{p_1}^{p_2}V\,{\mathrm d}p$. For the ideal gas law, $p\,V=n\,RT$, this comes down to
$$...
