Q17 / 225 · JEE Main 2004 · Chemistry

In Vander Waals equation of state of the gas law, the constant ' $b$ ' is a measure of

A
intermolecular repulsions
B
intermolecular collisions per unit volume
Correct answer
C
Volume occupied by the molecules
D
intermolecular attraction

Solution

In Vander Waals equation ' $b$ ' is the excluded volume i.e. the volume occupied by the molecules

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