INTRODUCTION
IN the field of chemical thermodynamics, communications on equations of state that relate the pressure P, with volume V and temperature T, have been extensive. In most cases, the proposed relationships are based on well-founded but idealized models that restrict the use of the results to specific P-V-T regions of real substances. In these terms, the general relationship derived here is unrestricted. As illustrative examples, it is applied to five gases, four solids, and three liquids. II.

Combination of Eqs. [5] and [7] provides a simple and general equation of state that is the subject of the present work: (P + x) ( V - y) = (Cp - Cv)T
[8]
Equation [8] reduces readily to the ideal gas law for which Cp = 5R/2, Cv = 3R/2, and Cp - Cv = R. Also, for an ideal gas, E = 3RT/2 and H = 5RT/2, i.e., the energy terms depend only on temperature and hence, both x and y are zero. The ideal gas equation is therefore produced, P V = RT. The form of Eq. [8] is similar to that of the van der Waals relationship

The thermodynamic relationship for the difference between the heat capacities at constant pressure and constant volume, Cp - Cv, is given by

where E is the molar internal energy and H is the molar enthalpy. Historically, these two expressions have been treated separately, but they can be combined to give a general equation that relates P, V, and T. To do this, let
