where Vb is the molecular volume at the normal boiling point, in (cm) /g mol (this is
evaluated by using Table 24.3); Vc is the critical molecular volume, in (cm)3/g mol; Tc is
the critical temperature, in K; Tb is the normal boiling temperature, in K; and Pc is the
critical pressure, in atmospheres.
