ideal gas. Table 1.5 lists Boyle temperatures of
nonideal gases. The existence of Boyle temperature allows us to use nonideal

successive terms in the virial equation are negligible.
ne model of ideal gases is that (a) they are composed of particles so tiny compared
e volume of the gas that they can be considered zero-volume points in space, and
here are no interactions, attractive or repulsive, between the individual gas par-
However, real gases ultimately have behaviors due to the facts that (a) gas atoms
molecules do have a size, and (b) there is some interaction between the gas par-

5, the volume of the gas particles should have an effect on the volume V of the gas.
interactions between gas particles would have an effect on the pressure p of the gas.
aps a better equation of state for a gas should take these effects into account.
1873, the Dutch physicist Johannes van der Waals (Figure 1.9) suggested
ected version of the ideal gas law. It is one of the simpler equations of state for
gases, and is referred to as the van der Waals equation:
an²

(p+ an)(v - nb)

ere n is the number of moles of gas, and a and b are the van der Waals con-
ts for a particular gas. The van der Waals constant a represents the pressure
rection and is related to the magnitude of the interactions between gas parti-
The van der Waals constant b is the volume correction and is related to the
of the gas particles. Table 1.6 lists van der Waals constants for various gases,
ch can be determined experimentally. Unlike a virial equation, which fits be-
ior of real gases to a mathematical equation, the van der Waals equation is a
thematical model that attempts to predict behavior of a gas in terms of real
sical phenomena (that is, interaction between gas molecules and the physical
es of atoms).
