Why we use virial equation of state?

Since the perfect gas law is an imperfect description of a real gas, we can combine the perfect gas law and the compressibility factors of real gases to develop an equation to describe the isotherms of a real gas. This Equation is known as the Virial Equation of state, which expresses the deviation from ideality in terms of a power series in the density.
The actual behavior of fluids is often described with the virial equation:
PV = RT[1 + (B/V) + (C/(V^2)) + ...] ,
where,
B is the second virial coefficient,
C is called the third virial coefficient, etc.

in which the temperature-dependent constants for each gas are known as the virial coefficients. The second virial coefficient, B, has units of volume (L).
