About this document
Van der Waals Equation Lab Report by DI Lacson is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes an experiment on the van der Waals equation of state, the law of corresponding states, and the compression factor using two substances, carbon monoxide and n-pentane. Microsoft Excel was used to calculate values and generate graphs. The van der Waals equation more accurately describes real gas behavior than the ideal gas law. Results were compared below and above the critical temperature. The Maxwell construction was used to derive the gas-liquid coexistence curve. Reduced variables
