Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Van der Waals parameters of the gas constant the radius of the molecules has to be estimated using given critical constants values.

Concept Introduction:

Van der Waals equation:

The deviation from ideal gas law was accounted using two constants, a and b and was given by an equation called van der Waals equation which is similar to ideal gas law as follows,

  (P+n2aV2)(V-nb) = nRT

Where,

a and b are constants

P is the pressure

V is the volume

T is the temperature

R is molar gas constant

n is the mole
