Van der Waals’ suggested that the pressure exerted by an ideal gas,  is related to the experimentally measured pressure,  by the equation,

Constant  is measure of intermolecular interaction between gaseous molecules that gives rise to non-ideal behaviour depends on how frequently any two molecules approach each other closely. Another correction concerns the volume occupied by the gas molecules. In the ideal gas equation,  represents the volume of the container. However each molecules does occupy a finite although small, intrinsic volume, so the effective volume of the gas becomes , where  is the number of moles of the gas and  is a constant
