The term that corrects for the attractive forces present in a real gas in the van der Waal's equation is

A

`nb`

B

`n^(2) a//V^(2)`

C

`-(n^(2) a//V^(2))`

D

`-nb`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In the van der Waal's equation
`(P + (n^(2)a)/(V^(2))) (V - nb) = nRT`
the pressure correction factor `(n^(2) a//V^(2))` accounts for the intermolecular forces of attraction
