Problem 2 - Entrance Test
The van der Waals equation for a real gas is (P + a/n²V²)(V - nb) = nRT. Which term accounts for molecular volume?
A. a/V²
B. b
C. a/n²V²
D. b/n²V
Check Answer
Show Solution
Correct: B
The term 'b' corrects for the finite volume of gas molecules, reducing the available volume to (V - nb) in the equation.
