The term that corrects for the attractive forces present in a real gas in the van der Waals' equation is
Options
- An b
- Bn^2 a / V^2
- C- (n^2 a / V^2 )
- D-n b
Correct answer
B. n^2 a / V^2
Step-by-step solution
In the van der Waals' equation (p+ n^2 a V^2 )(V-n b)=n R T The pressure correction factor (n^2 a / V^2 ) accounts for intermolecular attraction in real gas.
