What are diatomic molecules ?

Arrhenius studies the effect of temperature on the rate of a reaction and postulated that rate constant varies with temperature exponentially as k=Ae^(-E_(a)//RT) . This method is generally used for finding the activation energy of a reaction. Keeping temperature constant, the effect of catalyst on the activation energy has also been studied. If x is the fraction of molecules having energy greater than E_(a) it will be given by : a) x=-(E_(a))/(RT) b) In x=-(E_(a))/(RT) c) x=e^(E_(a)//RT) d) Any of these

1 mole of a diatomic gas present in 10 L vessel at certain temperature exert a pressure of 0.96 atm. Under similar conditions an ideal gas exerted 1.0 atm pressure. If volume of gas molecule is negligible, then find the value of van der Waals' constant ''a'' (in atm L^(2)//mol^(2) ).
