AIPMT MAINS 2012 Chemistry Van der Waals Equation MCQ Question
For real gases van der Waals equation is written as where 'a' and 'b' are van der Waals constants. Two sets of gases are:
(I) Ω₂, CO₂, He and (II) CH₄, O₂, H₂.
The gases given in set-I in increasing order of 'b' and gases given in set-II in decreasing order of 'a', are arranged below. Select the correct order from the following:
(I) He < H₂ < CO₂ < O₂ (II) CH₄ > H₂ > O₂
(I) Ω₂ < He < H₂ < CO₂ (II) H₂ > O₂ > CH₄
(I) H₂ < He < O₂ < CO₂ (II) CH₄ > O₂ > H₂
(I) H₂ < O₂ < He < CO₂ (II) Ω₂ > CH₄ > H₂
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The van der Waals constant 'b' is related to the size of the molecule, and 'a' is related to the intermolecular forces. Based on the given data, the correct order is (4).
