Abstract
It is shown that all the equations of state are simplified version of the general equation of state, PΩ(V - μ) = RT.Ω, the term responsible for the attractive forces, is a function of volume and temperature. μ, the term responsible for the repulsive forces, is also a function of volume and temperature. A detailed analysis of a large number of experimental P-V-T data reveals that the Ω vs P function and the μ vs P function, at a constant temperature, go through a maximum. These maxima must be predicted by all physically consistent equations of state.
