Question
Can a Van der Waals gas with a = 0 be liquefied? explain.
Advertisements
Solution
- a = 0 for a Van der Waals gas i.e. for a real gas. Van der Waals constant a = 0. It cannot be liquefied.
- If a = 0, there is very less interaction between the molecules of gas.
- ‘a’ is the measure of the strength of Van der Waals force of attraction between the molecules of the gas.
- If a is equal to zero, the Van der Waals force of attraction is very less and the gas cannot be liquefied.
