Chapter 1, Problem 1.2CP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The significance of parameter a of the van der Waals equation to describe the difference in the form of the potential function of H2O and He gases needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction: The ideal gas equation is the equation that gives the relation between pressure, volume, number of moles and temperature of gases. It can be written as:

  PV = nRT

Here, R is Universal gas constant.

Usually, gases do not follow ideal behavior under all conditions of pressure, temperature and volumes. The relation of P, V, n and T of real gases can be given by Vander Waals equation:

  (P + n2aV2) (V- n b) = nRT

Hence,

  P = nRT V-nb - n2aV2
