    \[a/{{V}^{2}}\]given in van der Waals equation is for:

    A)  internal pressure

    B)  inter molecular attraction

    C)  both  and

    D)  temperature correction

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     For the explanation of behaviour of real gas van der Waal made correction in the ideal gas equation\[(PV=nRT)\]. He added\[\frac{a}{{{V}^{2}}}\]to pressure value to correct it. The correction was necessary due to intermolecular attractive forces which exist between the molecules appearing on surface.
