According to kinetic theory, the gas particles occupy a negligible fraction of the total volume of the gas. This assumption is responsible for the volume correction in the ideal gas equation of real gases.

The unit of the van der Waals gas equation parameter $\text{'}\mathrm{a}\text{'}$ in $\left(\mathrm{P}+\frac{{\mathrm{an}}^2}{{\mathrm{V}}^2}\right)(\mathrm{V}-\mathrm{nb})=\mathrm{nRT}$ is:

In thermodynamics, the $\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{V}$ work done is given by $\mathrm{w}=-\int {\mathrm{dVP}}_{\mathrm{ext}}$. For a system undergoing a particular process, the work done is,

$\mathrm{w}=-\int \mathrm{dV}\left(\frac{\mathrm{RT}}{\mathrm{V}-\mathrm{b}}-\frac{\mathrm{a}}{{\mathrm{V}}^2}\right)$. This equation is applicable to a

For a van der Waals' gas, the term $\left(\frac{\mathrm{ab}}{{\mathrm{V}}^2}\right)$ represents some
