The law of corresponding states is an empirical law encapsulates the finding that the equations of state for many real gases are remarkably similar when they are expressed in terms of reduced temperatures (), pressures, () and volumes (). This law was first described by Johannes Diderik van der Waals in his 1873 thesis, and forms the subject of a paper by him in 1913 (Ref. 1).
For argon, krypton, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and methane one has (Ref. 4)
For neon, argon, and oxygen one has (Ref. 4)
where is the Boyle temperature.
