The pressure dependence of the equilibrium constant of a slightly imperfect gas is calculated. At sufficiently high temperatures, the constants occurring in the formula for the equilibrium constant can be expressed in terms of the van der Waals constants. The latter can be obtained from the second virial coefficients. Numerical results for ammonia give good agreement between the theory and experiments.
