Ethane Specific Volume Using Law of Corresponding States
15 K P = 10 atm
TC = 305.4 K PC = 48.2 atm
Tr = T/Tc Pr = P/Pc
Tr = 308.15K/305.4K Pr = 10atm/48.2atm

Methane has a different critical temperature and critical pressure. Therefore the reduced
temperature and reduced pressure will be different. This will result in a different value for Z.
