    In the van der Waal's equqtion, the term ((a)/(V^(2))) is introduced to correct for

    In van der Waal's equations (P+a/(V^(2)))(V-b)=RT , what are the dimensions of the constants a and b?

    Assertion: In van der Waals equation (P+(a)/(V^(2)))(V-b)=RT pressure correction (a//V^(2)) is due to the force of attraction between molecules. Reason: Volume of gas molecule cannot be neglected due to force of attraction.

    Using van der Waals equation (P+(a)/(V^(2)))(V-b)=RT , answer the following questions: The term that accounts for intermolecular forces in the van der Waals equation for non-ideal gas is
