As far as I know the van der Waals constants can be expressed as functions of Pc and Tc. Why is it so? Why is it not a function of Vc/Tc, or Pc/Vc?
Say for example, b = Vc/3. Why is this expressed in terms of Pc and Tc instead? Why is a also in terms of Pc and Tc, and not Vc? Is this just a matter of preference?
