KnowraVan der Waals equationLinked fromLinked fromThe 22 pages that link to Van der Waals equation, each with the reason it gives.All 22Broader topic 3Related 8Compared with 11Ideal 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.Ideal gasCompared with: Its correction terms model the departures expected in actual gases.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.Gas pressureCompared with: Its corrections matter when real-gas pressure departs from ideal predictions.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.Thermodynamic equationsCompared with: It illustrates how an equation of state can correct ideal-gas assumptions.
