Question

The van der Waals equation for \(n\) moles of gas is:

• A. \((P+\frac{an^2}{V^2})(V-nb)=nRT\)
• B. \((P+\frac{a}{V^2})(V-nb)=nRT\)
• C. \((P+\frac{an}{V^2})(V-nb)=nRT\)
• D. \((P+\frac{a}{V})(V-nb)=nRT\)

Hint:

Use \(an^2/V^2\) and \(nb\) corrections.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

van der Waals corrections account for intermolecular attraction and finite volume.
