The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given Van der Waals equation and the isothermal representation of pressure. Let's go through the steps systematically. ### Step 1: Write down the Van der Waals equation The Van der Waals equation is given as: \[ \left(P + \frac{aT^2}{V}\right) V^c = RT + b \] where \(a\), \(b\), \(c\), and \(R\) are constants. ### Step 2: Rearrange the equation to isolate \(P\) We can rearrange the equation to express \(P\) in terms of \(V\): \[ P + \frac{aT^2}{V} = \frac{RT + b}{V^c} \] Now, subtract \(\frac{aT^2}{V}\) from both sides: \[ P = \frac{RT + b}{V^c} - \frac{aT^2}{V} \] ### Step 3: Combine the terms on the right-hand side To combine the terms, we need a common denominator, which is \(V^c\): \[ P = \frac{RT + b - aT^2 V^{c-1}}{V^c} \] ### Step 4: Identify the form of the isothermal equation The isothermal equation is given as: \[ P = A V^m - B V^n \] where \(A\) and \(B\) depend on temperature. ### Step 5: Compare the two expressions for \(P\) From our rearranged Van der Waals equation, we can see that: \[ P = \frac{RT + b}{V^c} - \frac{aT^2}{V} \] This can be rewritten as: \[ P = \frac{RT + b - aT^2 V^{c-1}}{V^c} \] ### Step 6: Determine the powers of \(V\) From the expression \(\frac{RT + b}{V^c}\), we can see that: - The term \(\frac{1}{V^c}\) suggests that \(m = -c\). - The term \(-\frac{aT^2}{V}\) suggests that \(n = -1\). ### Step 7: Write down the values of \(m\) and \(n\) Thus, we have: \[ m = -c \quad \text{and} \quad n = -1 \] ### Conclusion The values of \(m\) and \(n\) are: - \(m = -c\) - \(n = -1\)

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given Van der Waals equation and the isothermal representation of pressure.
