Q8 / 118 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Chemistry · States of Matter
In van der Waal's equation of state of the gas law, the constant ‘b’ is a measure of
- Aintermolecular attraction
- Bintermolecular repulsions
- Cintermolecular collision per unit volume
- Correct answerDvolume occupied by the molecules
Solution
Van der Waal's equation for one mol of a gas is given as
Where b is volume correction. It arises due to finite size of gaseous molecules.The constant ‘b’ is a measure of volume occupied by the molecules. It is actually four times of molar volume of gas molecule.
Where b is volume correction. It arises due to finite size of gaseous molecules.The constant ‘b’ is a measure of volume occupied by the molecules. It is actually four times of molar volume of gas molecule.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
