An analytic expression for the second virial coefficient in case of the Morse potential is derived. The parameters of the Morse potential are determined for eighteen species comprising inert gases, diatomic and polyatomic molecules, and mixtures of gases using experimental second virial coefficients. The calculated second virial coefficients based on the obtained Morse potential agree well with the empirical second virial coefficients and their temperature dependence.

The second and third virial coefficients calculated from the Bender equation of state (BEOS) are tested against experimental virial coefficient data. It is shown that the temperature dependences of the second and third virial coefficients as predicted by the BEOS are sufficiently accurate. We conclude that experimental second virial coefficients should be used to determine independently five of twenty constants of the Bender equation. This would improve the performance of the equation in a region of low-density gas, and also suppress correlations among the BEOS constants, which is even more important. The third virial coefficients cannot be used for the same purpose because of large uncertainties in their experimental values.
