The van der Waals equation, nRT = [P + a(n/V)2] (V- nb), incorporates corrections to the ideal gas law in order to account for the properties of real gases. One of the corrections accounts for:


the possibility of chemical reaction between molecules.

the finite volume of molecules.

the quantum behavior of molecules.

the fact that average kinetic energy is inversely proportional to temperature.

the possibility of phase changes when the temperature is decreased or the pressure is increased.
