Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the diameter of an oxygen molecule using the van der Waals constant 'b', we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between 'b' and the volume of the molecule The van der Waals constant 'b' is related to the volume occupied by one mole of molecules. It is given that: \[ b = 4V \] where \( V \) is the volume occupied by one molecule. ### Step 2: Calculate the volume occupied by one mole of oxygen molecules ...
