Derivation of Van der Waals equation:
For a real gas containing ‘n’ moles, the equation is written as
Where, P, V, T, n are the pressure, volume, temperature and moles of the gas. ‘a’ and ‘b’ constants specific to each gas.
Where,
Vm: molar volume of the gas
R: universal gas constant
T: temperature
P: pressure
V: volume
Thus, Van der Waals equation can be reduced to ideal gas law as PVm = RT.
The equation can further be written as;
- Cube power of volume:
- Reduced equation (Law of corresponding states) in terms of critical constants:
