Answer 1

If a van der waals gas constant ( a ) = 0 for a gas, then there are no intermolecular forces of attraction. Therefore it cannot be liquified.

Explanation : If a = 0, then the product of PC and 27b2 = 0 which means that either Pc = 0 or b = 0 which is not possible. That's the reason the gas cannot be liquified.

Btw, what do you mean by "Brainly users can answer" ? lmao, ínstagram users won't be able to answer your answer through ínstagram, right?

Not to be rude so take it as a joke and I hope my answer will help you-

Answer 2

Explanation:

It cannot be liquefied. If a = 0, there is very less interaction between the molecules of gas. 'a' is the measure of the strength of Van der Waals force of attraction between the molecules of the gas. If a is equal to zero, the Van der Waals force of attraction is very less and the gas cannot be liquefied.
