Two vander walls gases have same value of `b` but different a values. Which of these would energy greater volume under identical conditions?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If two gases have same value of 'b' but different values of 'a', then the gas having a larger value of 'a' will occupy lesser volume. This is because the gas with larger value fo 'a' will have larger force of attraction and hence lesser distance between its molecules.
