Explanation of Solution
The ideal
Vander Waals equation is based on the reasons that non-ideal gases do not obey the ideal gas equation. Notably, the van Waals equation improves the ideal gas law by adding two significant terms in the ideal gas equation: one term is to account for the volume of the gas molecules and another term is introduced for the attractive forces between them. The non-ideal gas equation represented as;
In the above equation,
‘a’ and ‘b’ are called as van der Waals constants and ‘a’ represents the pressure correction and it is related to the magnitude and strength of the interactions between gas particles. Similarly, ‘b’ describes the volume correction and it is having relationship to the size of the gas particles. When the value of V is large and ‘n’ is comparatively small, both corrections become negligible. Thus, the van der Waals equation contracts to the ideal gas equation PV = nRT. Such situations are for a gas having relatively lower number of gas molecules, occupying in a relatively larger volume i.e., the gas is at lower pressure. Generally, at low pressures, the correction term ‘a’ is more predominant than the correction term for volume ‘b’. At high pressures, the correction term for the volume of the gas molecules is predominant since, the molecules are incompressible and occupies a notable fraction of the total volume of gas.
On taking the derivative of this expression with respect to temperature, we can get the expression for
Both the term in the above expression has a volume as a variable so the derivative of pressure with respect to volume will give two terms. Thus,
Thus, variation of pressure with respect to temperature having the volume ‘V’ with them. Varying the quantities of volume will result in the variation of
