UPSC Chemistry Vanderwaals Equation

Nidhi T.

1. Write down the equation of state for van der Waals gases with symbolic significances and And the dimension of van dcr Waals constants.

Answer:

The van der Waals equation corrects for the volume of, and  forces between, gas molecules: ((P + a/V2) (V - b) = RT

The van der Waals equation of state approaches the ideal gas law PV = nRT as the values of these constants approach zero. The constant a provides a correction for the intermolecular forces. Constant b is a correction for finite molecular size and its value is the volume of one mole of the atoms or molecules.

(P + a/V2) (V - b) = RT
P is pressure, V is volume and T is temperature.
[P] = [F/A]  = [MLT −2/L2] = [ML−1T −2]
[V] = [L3]

We cannot add or subtract quantities of different dimensions. Therefore,
[P] = [a/V2] ⇒ [a] = [PV2] = [ML−1T −2 L6] = [M L5 T −2]
∴ [a] = [M L5 T −2]

Similarly,
[b] = [V] =  [L3]
