Significance of a and b in vander - Waal's equations

A

a and b both show the correction in volume of gas

B

a and b both show cohesive force between molecules

C

a shows cohesive force while b shows corrections in volume

D

a shows correction in volume while b shows cohesive force

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Vander- waals equation ` (V-b) (P + (a)/(V^(2)) ) = RT `
Here b shows correction in value and a show cohesive
