For one mole of a van der Waals gas when b = 0 and T = 300 K, the PV vs. 1 V plot is shown below. The value of the van der Waals constant a atm . litr e 2 mo l - 2 is
Options
- A1.5
- B2.5
- C1.75
- D1.0
Correct answer
A. 1.5
Step-by-step solution
PV = ZRT and Z = 1 - a Z R T P V = 1 - a V R T R T PV = RT - a V Slope of graph between PV and 1 V is -a a = 21.6 - 20.1 3 - 2 = 1.5
