The van der Waals equation is an equation of state for a fluid composed of particles that have a non-zero volume and a pairwise attractive inter-particle force (such as the van der Waals force). The equation is
van der waals equation
Physical significance of ‘a’: ‘a’ is a measure of the magnitude of intermolecular attractive forces between the particles
Physical significance of ‘b’:
‘b’ is the volume excluded by a mole of particles
p is the pressure of fluid
V is the total volume of container containing the fluid
