Role of virial coefficients in chemical reaction

Statistical Mechanics 2020-10-02 v3 Chemical Physics

Abstract

van't Hoff equation relates equilibrium constant KK of a chemical reaction to temperature TT. Though the van't Hoff plot (lnK\ln K vs 1/T1/T) is linear, it is nonlinear for certain chemical reactions. In this work we attribute such observations to virial coefficients.
