CBSEENCH11008476

The correction factor ‘a’ to the ideal gas equation corresponds to

  • Density of the gas molecules

  • Volume of the gas molecules

  • Forces of attraction between the gas molecules

  • Electric field present between the gas molecules

Solution

C.

Forces of attraction between the gas molecules

In the real gas equation, P + an2V2 (V-nb) = nRT van der Waal's constant, 'a' signifies intermolecular forces of attraction.
