Question

In van der Waals equation for a non-ideal gas, the term that accounts for intermolecular force is :

• A. $(V-b)$
• B. $(P+\frac{a}{V^2})$
• C. $RT$
• D. $PV$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $(P+\frac{a}{V^2})$

In van der waals equation for a non-ideal gas, the term that accounts for intermolecular force is :

$(P+\frac{a}{V^2})$

Since vander waals equation of state is $(P+\frac{a}{V^2})(V-b)=RT.$
