\left[p+{\frac {a}{T^{1/2}v(v+b)}}\right](v-b)=RT

where

a=0.4278{\frac {R^{2}T_{c}^{2.5}}{P_{c}}}

and

b=0.0867{\frac {RT_{c}}{P_{c}}}

where $p$ is the pressure, $T$ is the temperature and $R$ is the molar gas constant. $T_{c}$ is the critical temperature and $P_{c}$ is the pressure at the critical point.
