Critical isotherm for Redlich-Kwong model in comparison to van-der-Waals model and ideal gas (with V 0 =RT c /p c) The Redlich–Kwong equation is another two-parameter equation that is used to model real gases. It is almost always more accurate than the van der Waals equation, and often more accurate than some equations with more than two ...
Isotherms of an ideal gas for different temperatures. The curved lines are rectangular hyperbolae of the form y = a/x. They represent the relationship between pressure (on the vertical axis) and volume (on the horizontal axis) for an ideal gas at different temperatures: lines that are farther away from the origin (that is, lines that are nearer to the top right-hand corner of the diagram ...
The ideal gas law is the equation of state for an ideal gas, given by: = where P is the pressure; V is the volume; n is the amount of substance of the gas (in moles) T is the absolute temperature; R is the gas constant, which must be expressed in units consistent with those chosen for pressure, volume and temperature.
One way to write the van der Waals equation is: [8] [9] [10] = where is pressure, is temperature, and = / is molar volume. In addition is the Avogadro constant, is the volume, and is the number of molecules (the ratio / is a physical quantity with base unit mole (symbol mol) in the SI).
An example of an equation of state correlates densities of gases and liquids to temperatures and pressures, known as the ideal gas law, which is roughly accurate for weakly polar gases at low pressures and moderate temperatures. This equation becomes increasingly inaccurate at higher pressures and lower temperatures, and fails to predict ...
This is the virial equation of state and describes a real gas. Since higher order virial coefficients are generally much smaller than the second coefficient, the gas tends to behave as an ideal gas over a wider range of pressures when the temperature reaches the Boyle temperature (or when c = 1 V m {\textstyle c={\frac {1}{V_{m}}}} or P ...
According to van der Waals, the theorem of corresponding states (or principle/law of corresponding states) indicates that all fluids, when compared at the same reduced temperature and reduced pressure, have approximately the same compressibility factor and all deviate from ideal gas behavior to about the same degree.

All perfect gas models are ideal gas models in the sense that they all follow the ideal gas equation of state. However, the idea of a perfect gas model is often invoked as a combination of the ideal gas equation of state with specific additional assumptions regarding the variation (or nonvariation) of the heat capacity with temperature.
