General Theory of the Internal and Thermal Constituents of Thermodynamic Properties of Real Gases Nedostup V. A.V. Bogatsky Physical‐Chemical Institute National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Lustdorfskaya Doroga 86, Odessa 65080, Ukraine vinedostup@yandex.ua Abstract Representations of thermodynamic properties (e. g. pressure, Helmholtz Free energy, Gibbs Free energy, enthalpy, internal energy) as a sum of two constituents: internal and thermal, were reviewed. General form of thermodynamic relationships between internal and thermal components of caloric properties was derived. It is shown that existence of ideal curves on thermodynamic surface is result of a mutual indemnification of internal and thermal contribution in thermodynamic properties. Dependence of the behavior of thermal and internal components on features of intermolecular interactions is considered. Keywords Thermodynamic Properties; Equation of State; Thermodynamic Surface; Ideal Curve

I. Introduction At first time pressure was described as a sum of two components – internal (Pi) and thermal (Pt). P = Pt+ Pi (1) in Gern’s equation of state[1] where the correction term for pressure caused by intermolecular interaction was introduced. In 8 years Van der Waals [2] proposed a volume dependence of this value, giving a theoretical background which is relevant even nowadays. Back in those days, scientists considered internal pressure to be solely dependent on volume. Famous philosopher During stated:‘ it is just as inconsistent to think that internal pressure is dependent on temperature as to think that temperature impacts gravity[3].In modern studies internal pressure of the liquid is linked to the liquid’s structure, phase transitions heat and other characteristics defined by intermolecular interactions [4]. However, internal and thermic components of caloric properties have not been discussed until now. II. Pressure. Ideal Gas Curve

There is a precise presentation of equation (1) in Van der Waals equation of state [2] and its modifications. Most prominent result of internal and thermal components existence is a presence of so‐called ideal curves on thermodynamic surfaces of the real gas. Ideal curves are loci of points in which properties of real gas are the same as those properties of the ideal gas at same temperature and density. It also applies to the curve where absolute value of real gas part of thermal pressure is equal to the value of internal pressure, which is also called ideal gas
