We study graph weights (i.e., graph invariants) which arise naturally in Mayer's theory and Ree-Hoover's theory of virial expansions in the context of a non-ideal gas. We give special attention to the Second Mayer weight wM(c) and the Ree-Hoover weight wRH(c) of a 2-connected graph c which arise from the hard-core continuum gas in one dimension. These weights are computed using signed volumes of convex polytopes naturally associated with the graph c. Among our results are the values of Mayer's weight and Ree-Hoover's weight for all 2-connected graphs b of size at most 8, and explicit formulas for certain infinite families.
