van der Waals Coefficients Calculator

Calculate the van der Waals constants \( a \) and \( b \) using the critical properties of a substance.
\[ a = \frac{27 R^2 T_c^2}{64 P_c} \quad \text{and} \quad b = \frac{R T_c}{8 P_c} \]

* Enter the critical temperature (K) and critical pressure (atm).

Step 1: Enter Critical Properties

Example: 190 K

Example: 45 atm

Formula: \[ a = \frac{27R^2T_c^2}{64P_c}, \quad b = \frac{RT_c}{8P_c} \] with \( R = 8.314\,\text{J/(mol·K)} \) and \( P_c \) in Pa (1 atm = 101325 Pa).
