Solution

The correct option is C 1.5
The van der Waals' equation for 1 mol gas will be :

[P+aV2][Vb]=RT

Since, b=0

PV=RTaV(y=c+mx form)

When PV is plotted against (1/V), we get straight line with negative slope i.e., (a)

Slope=20.124.63

=1.5.

So, a = 1.5

Therefore, the correct option is C.
