Abstract: The relation between the pressure and molar concentration (in mol/L) of real gases in a low- to medium-pressure range is precisely described by a logarithmic two-parameter equation. Increasing the concentration caused an increase in pressure and also the weakening of the effect due to intermolecular interactions, forming the basis for an equation with an adjusted parameter. Exceeding a critical concentration by a further increase caused a switch to another set of parameters in the same equation. At high pressure, a second switch to an exponential term was observed. This equation of state, defined segment by segment, was attributed to three different structures of the medium. The validity of the equations found was verified with experimental data reported in the literature for helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon and is discussed in more detail for argon. The temperature dependence of the parameters of the equations is reported and the formation of a liquid phase is discussed.
