The following table lists the van der Waals constants (from the van der Waals equation) for a number of common gases and volatile liquids.
Units:
- 1 J·m3/mol2 = 1 m6·Pa/mol2 = 10 L2·bar/mol2
- 1 L2atm/mol2 = 101 325 J·m3/kmol2 = 101 325 Pa·m6/kmol2
- 1 dm3/mol = 1 L/mol = 1 m3/kmol (where kmol is kilomoles = 1000 moles)

Famous quotes containing the words van and/or der:
“English general and singular terms, identity, quantification, and the whole bag of ontological tricks may be correlated with elements of the native language in any of various mutually incompatible ways, each compatible with all possible linguistic data, and none preferable to another save as favored by a rationalization of the native language that is simple and natural to us.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“Under the lindens on the heather,
There was our double resting-place.”
—Walther Von Der Vogelweide (1170?–1230?)
