a / V ^2 given in van der Waal's equation is for
Options
- Ainternal pressure
- Binter molecular attraction
- Cboth (1) and (2)
- Dtemperature correction
Correct answer
B. inter molecular attraction
Step-by-step solution
For the explaination of real gas behaviour van der Waal gave an equation. The gas pressure is changed due to intermolecular attraction. By adding a V^2 the pressure value is made correct.
