Question:

Consider the following table:Gas a/(k Pa dm^6 mol^-1) b / (dm^3 mol^-1)A 642.32 0.05196B 155.21 0.04136C 431.91 0.05196D 155.21 0.4382a and b are vander waals constant. The correct statement about the gases is:

gas C will occupy more volume than gas A; gas B will be lesser compressible than gas D

gas C will occupy lesser volume than gas A; gas B will be lesser compressible than gas D

gas C will occupy lesser volume than gas A; gas B will be more compressible than gas D

gas C will occupy more volume than gas A; gas B will be more compressible than gas D

Solution:

Correct option is C. gas C will occupy more volume than gas A; gas B will be more compressible than gas DSolution:- (C) Gas C will occupy more volume than gas A; gas B will be more compressible than gas D∙Gas A and C have same value of 'b' but different value of 'a' so gas having higher value of 'a' have more force of attraction so molecules will be more closer hence occupy less volume.∙Gas B and D have same value of 'a' but different value of 'b' so gas having lesser value of 'b' will be more compressible.So option (C) is correct.
