The van der Waals’ equation for a real gas is given by the formula (p+n2aV2)(V−nb)=nRT,wherep,V,Tandn\left( {p + \frac{{{n^2}a}}{{{V^2}}}} \right)\left( {V - nb} \right) = nRT,\mathrm{where}p,V,T\mathrm{and}n are the pressure, volume, temperature and the number of moles of the gas. Which one is the correct interpretation for the parameter a?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
The parameter aa accounts for intermolecular interaction’s present in the molecule
Option C is correct because the parameter 'a' in the van der Waals equation accounts for the intermolecular attractive forces between gas molecules.
