Q46 / 118 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Chemistry · States of Matter

At low pressure, the Vander Waal's equation is expressed as

  • A
    pV m =RT+1
  • B
    Z=pVmRT=1+bRTp
  • C
    Z=pVmRT=1-aRT
  • Correct answer
    D
    Z= pV m RT =1− a RTV m

Solution

p+ a V m 2 V m −b = RT
at low pressure b≅0
⇒  P+ a V m 2 V m =RT
⇒  PV m + a V m =RT
⇒ Z = 1− a V m RT

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
