The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the van der Waals equation at low pressure, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write down the van der Waals equation The van der Waals equation is given by: \[ P + \frac{a}{V_m^2}(V_m - b) = RT \] where: - \( P \) = pressure - \( V_m \) = molar volume - \( a \) = measure of the attractive forces between particles - \( b \) = volume occupied by the particles themselves - \( R \) = universal gas constant - \( T \) = temperature ### Step 2: Consider the conditions at low pressure At low pressure, the volume of the gas is large, which means that the excluded volume \( b \) becomes negligible. Thus, we can simplify the equation by ignoring the term \( b \). ### Step 3: Simplify the equation Neglecting \( b \), the equation simplifies to: \[ P + \frac{a}{V_m^2}V_m = RT \] This can be rearranged to: \[ P + \frac{a}{V_m} = RT \] ### Step 4: Rearranging to isolate \( P \) To isolate \( P \), we can rearrange the equation: \[ P = RT - \frac{a}{V_m} \] ### Step 5: Identify the correct option Now, let's analyze the options provided: - (a) \( PV_m = RT \) - (b) \( P(V_m - b) = RT \) - (c) \( (P + \frac{a}{V_m^2})V_m = RT \) - (d) \( P = \frac{RT}{V_m} + \frac{a}{V_m^2} \) From our simplification, we see that option (c) matches our derived equation at low pressure. ### Final Answer The correct answer is: **(c) \( (P + \frac{a}{V_m^2})V_m = RT \)** ---

At a particular temperature and pressure for a real gas Van der Waal's equation can be written as: (P + a/(V^(2)m)) (V_(m) -b) =RT where Vm is molar volume of gas. This is cubic equation in the variable Vm and therefore for any single value of P & T there should be 3 values of Vm. Which are shown in graph as Q, M and L. As temperature is made to increase at a certain higher temperature the three values of Vm becomes identical. The temperature, pressure & molar volume at point X are called Tc, Pc & Vc for real gas. The compressibility factor in terms of Pc, Vc and T is called Zc. The expression of Van dcr Waal's constant 'a' can be given as
