The pressure exerted by 1 mole of CO2 at 273 K, is 34.98 atm. Assuming that volume occupied by CO2 molecules is negligible, the value of van der Waals' constant for attraction of CO2 gas is :

A gas is said to behave like an ideal gas when relation constant. When do you expect real gas to behave like an ideal gas?

In Van der Waal’s equation of state for a non-ideal gas, the term that accounts for intermolecular forces is:

At which one of the following temperature – pressure conditions the deviation of a gas from ideal behaviour is expected to be minimum ?

When deviation is more in the behaviour of a gas from the ideal gas equation PV = nRT ?

According to kinetic theory, the gas particles occupy a negligible fraction of the total volume of the gas. This assumption is responsible for the volume correction in the ideal gas equation of real gases.

Mentions two assumptions of kinetic theory of gases, which are responsible for the volume correction in the ideal gas equation of real gases.
