The van der Waals equation, nRT = [P + a(n/V)2] (V- nb), incorporates corrections to the ideal gas ...

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.
