Question

Explain the significance of the Vander waals parameters.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The van der Waals constant 'a' represents the magnitude of intermolecular forces of attraction and the Van der Waals constant 'b' represents the effective size of the molecules.

Answer 2

Answer:

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. Physical significance of 'b': 'b' is the volume excluded by a mole of particles
