Question

Explain the physical significance of vander waals parameters

Answer 1

Hey dear friend , The van der Waals' equation can be written as follows: Significance of van der Waals' parameter 'a': It is the measure of the magnitude of attractive forces between the molecules of a gas. Larger the value of 'a', larger will be the intermolecular force of attraction.

Answer 2

Explanation:

a is a measure of magnitude of intermolecular forces of attraction while b is a measure of the effective volume of the gas molecules. Value of a and b depends upon the characteristics of a gas.
