The 22 pages that link to Van der Waals equation, each with the reason it gives.

• Equation of stateBroader topic: Its corrections model real-gas behavior absent from the ideal gas law.

• Ideal gas lawCompared with: Its correction terms address the two idealizations omitted from PV = nRT.

• Kinetic theory of gasesCompared with: Its corrections capture two effects omitted by the simplest kinetic model.

• Van der Waals forceRelated: Its attraction correction reflects the influence of intermolecular forces on gas pressure.

• Critical pointRelated: Its pressure–volume curve provides a classic model for locating critical conditions.

• Ideal gasCompared with: Its correction terms model the departures expected in actual gases.

• Joule–Thomson effectRelated: Its nonideal terms show why throttling can change temperature despite constant enthalpy.

• Real gasRelated: Its two correction terms model the finite volume and attractive forces that make gases real.

• FugacityRelated: It illustrates how an equation of state can supply real-gas corrections underlying fugacity.

• Compressibility factorCompared with: It predicts Z from a simple model rather than treating the factor as measured data.

• Avogadro's lawCompared with: Its corrections account for conditions where ideal Avogadro proportionality is only approximate.

• Gas lawsCompared with: Corrects two assumptions behind the ideal-gas approximation.

• Redlich–Kwong equation of stateCompared with: Redlich–Kwong retains van der Waals’s cubic structure but improves its temperature dependence.

• Virial expansionCompared with: Unlike the virial series, it packages nonideality into a compact equation with a broader intended range.

• Combined gas lawCompared with: It handles nonideal behavior omitted by the combined gas law.

• Internal pressureBroader topic: Its attraction term produces a nonzero internal pressure in the fluid model.

• Theorem of Corresponding StatesRelated: Its reduced form yields a simple universal relation among fluid properties.
