• Resumen

  • An efficient numerical algorithm for calculating second virial coefficients of gases is outlined. When implemented in a custom computer application or a spreadsheet program, the algorithm can be used to determine the parameters of a model intermolecular potential. Using this method, students can determine the molecular-level properties of a gas based on macroscopic data related to non-ideal behavior.
