The van der Waals equation for `CH_(4)` at low pressure isA. `PV=RT-Pb`B. `PV=RT-(a)/(V)`C. `PV=RT+(a)/(V)`D. `PV=RT+Pb` |
Answer» The van der Waals gas equation for `1 mol` of gas is `(P+(a)/(V^(2)))(V-b)=RT` At low `P`, volume is high. So `(V-b)=V` `:. (P+(a)/(V^(2)))V=RT` or `PV=RT-(a)/(V)` Hence, the correct choice is (`b`) |
