In van der Waal's equation of state for a non ideal gas the term that accounts for i9ntermolecular forces is:

Options

A. `(V-b)`
B. `(RT)^(-1)`
C. `(p+(a)/(V^(2)))`
D. `RT`

Answer

C

Explanation

The van der Waal's equation is
`(p+(a)/(V^(2)))(V-b)=RT`
The term `(p+(a)/(V^(2)))` is used for pressure correction, it measures the intermolecular force between the molecules of gas.
