Interpretation of the Second Virial Coefficient
Jaime Wisniak
Department of Chemical Engineering, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer-Sheva, Israel
Cover
May 1999
Vol. 76 No. 5
p. 671
Abstract
The second virial coefficient is shown to be related unequivocally to the temperature of Boyle, to the residual volume of a gas, and to the Joule-Thomson effect. From it singular values of the temperature can be determined at which the gas shows apparent ideal behavior in its equation of state only or in specific properties of the ideal gas. At the temperature of Boyle the attractive and repulsive forces between molecule centers cancel each other.
