Solution

The correct option is C 1.5
The vanderwaal's equation of state is
(P+n2aV2)(Vnb)=nRT
For one mole and when b = 0, the above equation condenses to
(P+n2aV2)V=RTPV=RTaV . . . . .(i)
Equation (i) is a straight line equation between PV and 1V whose slope is '- a'. Equating with slope of the straight line given in the graph
a=20.121.632=1.5a=1.5
