Appreciable improvement results from introduction of a third corresponding-states parameter, characteristic of molecularstructure.The definition of makes its value zero for argon, krypton, and xenon, and experimentaldata yield compressibility factors for all three fluids that are correlated by the same curveswhenZ is represented as a function of Trand Pr. This is the basic premise of the followingthree-parameter theorem of corresponding states:All fluids having the same value of , when compared at the same Trand Prhave about the same value of Z, and all deviate from ideal-gas behavior to about the same degree.Themost popular such parameter is the acentric factor , introduced by K. S. Pitzerand coworkers.Where for pure chemical species defined with reference to its vapor pressure Pitzer noted that all vapor-pressure data for the simple fluids (Ar, Kr,Xe) lie on the same line when plotted as log PrSatvs.1/Trand that the line passes throughlog PrSat= -1.0 at Tr= 0.7.
