- B behaves similar to an ideal gas in the limit of large pressures
- C is characterised by van der Waals' coefficients that are dependent on the identity of the gas but are independent of the temperature
- D has the pressure that is lower than the pressure exerted by the same gas behaving ideally
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) behaves similar to an ideal gas in the limit of large pressures
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The gas described by van der Waals' equation in the limit of large molar volume, in the intermediate range of pressure experience balancing by two factors.
\(
\left(p+\frac{a}{V^2}\right)(V-b)=R T \Rightarrow p V=\frac{a}{V}\) \(-~p b+\frac{a b}{V^2}=R T
\)
(We can neglect the product of two very small constants, \(\frac{a b}{V^2}\) )
So,
\(
p V+\frac{a}{V}-p b=R T
\)
As
\(
\frac{a}{V}=p b
\)
The gas behaves ideally, \(p V=R T\)
- The van der Waals' constants ' \(a\) ' and ' \(b\) ' are characteristics of the gas. The value of these constants are determined by the critical constants of the gas
\(
a=3 p_C V_C^2=3 p_C\left(\frac{3 R T_C}{8 p_C}\right)^2=\frac{27\left(R T_C\right)^2}{64 p_C} ;\) \(b=\frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{3 R T_C}{8 p_C}\right)=\frac{R T_C}{8 p_C}
\)
Question is based on description by van der Waals' equation, that's why we have to ignore the effect of temperature on \(a\) and \(b\). Actually, the so-called constant varies to some extent with temperature and this shows that the van der Waals' equation is not a complete solution of the behaviour of real gas

Carbon-14 is used to determine the age of organic material. The procedure is based on the formation of \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\) by neutron capture in the upper atmosphere.
\(
{ }_7^{14} \mathrm{~N}+{ }_0^1 n \longrightarrow{ }_6^{14} \mathrm{C}+{ }_1 n^1
\)
\({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\) is absorbed by living organisms during photosynthesis. The \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\) content is constant in living organism once the plant or animal dies, the uptake of carbon dioxide by it ceases and the level of \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\) in the dead being, falls to the decay which \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\) undergoes.
\(
{ }_6^{14} \mathrm{C} \longrightarrow{ }_7^{14} \mathrm{~N}+\beta^{-}
\)
The half life period of \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\) is 5770 years. The decay constant \((\lambda)\) can be calculated by using the following formula \(\lambda=\frac{0.693}{t_{1 / 2}}\).
The comparison of the \(\beta^{-}\)activity of the dead matter with that of the carbon still in circulation enables measurement of the period of the isolation of the material from the living cycle. The method however, ceases to be accurate over periods longer than 30,000 years. The proportion of \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\) to \({ }^{12} \mathrm{C}\) in living matter is \(1: 10^{12}\).
