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.
