Q. In Vander Waal’s equation $a$ and $b$ represent $\left( P + \frac{a}{V^{2}} \right)(V - b) = RT$
A) Both $a$ and $b$ represent correction in volume
B) Both $a$ and $b$ represent adhesive force between molecules
C) $a$ represents adhesive force between molecules and $b$ correction in volume
D) $a$ represents correction in volume and $b$ represents adhesive force between molecules
Explanation
(c) In Vander Waal’s equation $\left( P + \frac{a}{V_{2}} \right)(V - b) = RT$
$a$ represents intermolecular attractive force and $b$ represents volume correction
