Forming an intermediate state between liquids, in which we assume no external pressure, and gases, in which we omit molecular forces, we have the state in which both terms occur. As a matter of fact, we shall see further on, that this is the only state which occurs in nature.

van der Waals (1873, ch2)

In Unit I we focused predominantly on a relatively small number of pure fluids. But the number of chemical compounds encountered when considering all possible applications is vast, and new compounds are being invented and applied every day. Imagine how many charts and tables would be necessary to have properties available for all those compounds. Then imagine how many charts would be necessary to ...
