		The van der Waals equation is an equation of state for a fluid composed of particles that have a non-zero size and a pairwise attractive inter-particle force (such as the van der Waals force.) It was derived by Johannes Diderik van der Waals in 1873, based on a modification of the ideal gas law.
		The derivation of the van der Waals equation begins with the equation of state of an ideal gas, which is composed of non-interacting point particles:
		Although the material constants a and b in the usual form of the van der Waals equation differs for every single gas/fluid considered, the equation can be recast into an invariant form applicable to all gases/fluids.

		Van der Waals proposed that we correct for the fact that the volume of a real gas is too large at high pressures by subtracting a term from the volume of the real gas before we substitute it into the ideal gas equation.
		The van der Waals equation gives results that are larger than the ideal gas equation at very high pressures, as shown in the figure above, because of the volume occupied by the CO molecules.

		In 1890, Van der Waals, by generalizing his famous equation of state to fluid mixtures, brought Gibbs’s abstract thermodynamics to practical application.
		Van der Waals’ mixture equation inspired a major experimental effort by Kamerlingh Onnes and his collaborators Kuenen, Keesom, and Verschaffelt.

	Real Gases and the van der Waals Equation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Based on experiments on pure gases in his laboratory, van der Waals recognized that the variation of each gas from ideal behavior could be treated by introducing two additional terms into the ideal gas equation.
		In the van der Waals equation the constant "a" is a correction term for intermolecular force and "b" is a correction for the real volume of the gas molecules.
		Intermolecular forces are often lumped together and called van der Waals' forces in recognition of his being the first to recognize their existance.
