Van der Waals equation is also known as Van der Waals equation of state for real gases which do not follow ideal gas law. According to ideal gas law, PV = nRT where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, T is the temperature and R is the universal gas constant. The Van der Waals Equation derivation is explained below.
Derivation of Van der Waals equation
For a real gas, using Van der Waals equation, the volume of a real gas is given as (Vm – b), where b is the volume occupied by per mole.
