Here, we begin by analysing some general properties of the energy eigenfunctions of a confined hydrogenic system, the cusp and inflexion properties, and virial relation. 

One can develop simple but accurate model wave functions for a confined hydrogen atom, based on the general cusp and inflexion properties discussed in Section 2.2 and the virial relation in Equation (2.16). 

The energies obtained [25] for Z = 0, 1, 2, for some values of R, are given in Table 1. It may be noted that these values are close to the accurate, numerically obtained values. This demonstrates the importance of the general cusp and inflexion properties, and virial relation, for the energy eigenfunctions. The values of the parameter a, normalization constant A and some related expectation values are given in Ref. [25]. 

The general procedure for relating any colligative property to Mn will be to measure AQ as a function of c and plot a graph of AQ/c versus c. The intercept at c = 0 will then enable M to be calculated since Ki is normally known. As with osmotic pressure measurements (Section 3.2.2) it is usual with all colligative property measurements to use solutions which are close to the Theta condition so that the third virial coefficient becomes negligible and curvature in the plots is minimized. 

As with the generalized compressibility-factor correlation, the complexity ol the functions (H f/RZ. H Y/RZ. (S /R, and S Y/R preclude then general representation by simple equations. However, the correlation for Z basec on generalized virial coefficients and valid at low pressures can be extended U the residual properties. The equation relating Z to the functions and ia derived in Sec. 3.6 from Eqs. (3.46) and (3.47) ... 

Equations of state are used in engineering to predict the thermodynamic properties in particular the phase behaviour of pure substances and mixtures. However, since there is neither an exact statistical-mechanical solution relating the properties of dense fluids to their intermolecular potentials, nor detailed information available on intermolecular potential functions, all equations of state are, at least partially, empirical in nature. The equations of state in common use within both industry and academia are described elsewhere in this book and can be arbitrarily classified as follows (1), cubic equations derived from the observation of van der Waals that are described in Chapter 4 (2), those based on the virial equation discussed in Chapter 3 (3), equations based on general results obtained from statistical mechanics and computer simulations mentioned in Chapter 8 and (4), those obtained by selecting, based on statistical means, terms that best represent the available measurements obtained from a broad range of experiments as outlined in Chapter 12. The methods used for mixtures are also alluded to in these chapters and in Chapter 6. 

In this chapter, we studied equations of state, which relate the measured properties P, v, and T. Examples include cubic equations of state (e.g., van der Waals, Redlich-Kwong, Peng-Robinson), the virial equation (with several specific forms), and the generalized compressibility charts. The Rackett equation allows us to estimate the molar volume of liquids at saturation, while the thermal expansion coefficient and the isothermal compressibility allow us to determine how to correct for the volumes of liquids and solids with temperature and pressure, respectively.
