It turns out van der Waals was very careful when “designing” the van der Waals equation: P = [RT / (Vm−b)] − (a / V^2m). If you’re not sure, let’s see why he divided the "a" term by V^2m and not Vm. Specifically, can you calculate the residual volume of an alternative equation of state: P = [RT / (Vm − b)] − (a / Vm) and show that the residual volume is -∞ L/mol
