Solution Preview

p * Vm = RT (1 + B' p + C' p^2 + ...) is a polynomial with the p as the variable

p Vm / RT = 1 + B' p + C' p^2 + ... --- (1)

p * Vm = RT [1 + B (1/Vm) + C (1/Vm)^2 + ...] is a polynomial with Vm as the variable

p Vm / RT = 1 + B (1/Vm) + C (1/Vm)^2 + ... --- (2)

Solving the second equation for p, we get

p = RT [(1/Vm) + B ...
