Chapter 6, Problem 6.143QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The gas among $\text{Ne}$ and $\text{Kr}$ that has a higher value of van der Waal’s constant $a$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The van der Waals equation for the real gases is,

$\left(P+\frac{n^2\text{a}}{V^2}\right)\left(V-n\text{b}\right)=n\text{R}T$

To determine: The gas among $\text{Ne}$ and $\text{Kr}$ that has a higher value of van der Waal’s constant $a$.
