Consider the comparison made between accurate results and those based on calculations using the van der Waals

Question:

Consider the comparison made between accurate results and those based on calculations using the van der Waals and Redlich€“Kwong equations of state in Figures 7.1 and 7.5. Is it clear that one of these equations of state is better than the other under all conditions?

Figure 7.1
