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:
“Linguistically, and hence conceptually, the things in sharpest focus are the things that are public enough to be talked of publicly, common and conspicuous enough to be talked of often, and near enough to sense to be quickly identified and learned by name; it is to these that words apply first and foremost.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“Under the lindens on the heather,
There was our double resting-place.”
—Walther Von Der Vogelweide (1170?–1230?)
