✒️VAN DER WAALS EQUATION
QUESTION:
The van der Waals equation is a modification of the ideal gas equation. What two factors does this equation account for?
A. (1) Real gas molecules exert forces on each other. (2) Gas molecules have energy
B. (1) Real gas molecules exertionic forces on each other. (2) Gas molecules have energy.
C. (1) Real gas molecules exert forces on each other. (2) Gas molecules have volume.
D. (1) Real gas molecules exert ionic forces on each other. (2) Gas molecules have volume.
E. None of the above have BOTH of the two factors accurately stated
ANSWER:
C. (1) Real gas molecules exert forces on each other. (2) Gas molecules have volume.
EXPLANATION:
The van der Waals equation is a modification of the ideal gas equation. It corrects for the fact that real gas molecules do exert forces on each other and that they do have volume.
