For one mole of a van der Waal's gas when \(b=0\) and \(\mathrm{T}=300 \mathrm{~K}\), the PV vs, \(1 / \mathrm{V}\) plot is shown below. The value of the van der Waal's constant \(a\) (atm. liter \({ }^{2} \mathrm{~mol}^{-2}\) ) is :

  1. A \(1.0\)
  2. B \(4.5\)
  3. C \(1.5\)
  4. D \(3.0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1.5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


\(\begin{array}{l}\left(P+\frac{\mathrm{a}}{V^{2}}\right)(V)=R T \\P V+a / V=R T ; P V=R T-a(V) \\y=R T-a(x)\end{array}\)
So, slope \(=a=\frac{21.6-20.1}{3-2}=\frac{1.5}{1}=1.5\)
