Question

For real gases van der Waals' equation is written as (p+an2V2)(V−nb)=nRT where a and b are van der Waals' constants. Two sets of gases are
(I) O2, CO2, H2 and He
(II) CH4, O2 and H2
The gases given in set-I in increasing order of b and gases given in set - II in decreasing order of a, are arranged below. Select the correct order from the following:

A
(I) He<H2<CO2<O2 (II) CH4>H2O2

Solution

The correct option is D (I) H2<He<O2<CO2 (II) O2>CH4>H2
van der Waals' gas constant 'a' represent intermolecular forces of attraction of gaseous molecules and van der Waals' gas constant 'b' represent effective size of molecules. Therefore order should be
(I) H2<He<O2<CO2 (II) O2>CH4>H2
