The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

van der Waals' equation is $\left(P+\frac{a}{V^{2}}\right)(V-b)=R T$ at high pressure $P(V-b)=R T$ $P V-P b=R T$ $\frac{P V}{R T}=\left(1+\frac{P b}{R T}\right)$ if $\frac{P V}{R T}=Z,$ then $Z=\left(1+\frac{P b}{R T}\right)$

Van Der Waals Equation

Van der Waals equation is an equation relating the relationship between the pressure, volume, temperature, and amount of real gases.

Derivation of Van der Waals equation:

For a real gas containing ‘n’ moles, the equation is written as

Where, P, V, T, n are the pressure, volume, temperature and moles of the gas. ‘a’ and ‘b’ constants specific to each gas.

Where,

Vm: molar volume of the gas

R: universal gas constant

T: temperature

P: pressure

V: volume

Thus, Van der Waals equation can be reduced to ideal gas law as PVm = RT.

The equation can further be written as;

  1. Cube power of volume:
  2. Reduced equation (Law of corresponding states) in terms of critical constants:
