Law of corresponding states

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 ($T_{r}=T/T_{c}$), pressures, (Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle p_r = p/p_c} ) and volumes (Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle V_r = V/V_c} ).
