What is the correction term in the pressure for real gas in comparison to the ideal gas?

  1. A \(\frac{n^2}{v^2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{a V^2}{n^2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{a n^2}{V^2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{a n^2}{v}-n b\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{a n^2}{V^2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to van der Waals' correction for pressure for real-gases, the pressure correction is given by \(p+\frac{a n^2}{V^2}\). \(\therefore\) Correction term for pressure of a real gas \(=\frac{a n^2}{V^2}\) and option (c) is the correct answer.
