is Van der waals equation for n moles of a gas.

Ans2. (i) NH3 will have larger value of a because of hydrogen bonding.
(ii) N2 should have large value b because of larger molecular size.

Ans3. Intermolecular attraction

Ans4. When the pressure of the gas is very low and the temperature is very high.

Ans5. The Van der waals constant a is a measure of intermolecular attractions. Therefore,
the value of a reflects the tendency of the gas to liquefy. The gas having larger value
of a will liquefy more easily.

Ans6. The two assumptions of the kinetic theory that do not hold good are
(i) There is no force of attraction between the molecules of a gas.
(ii) Volume of the molecules of a gas is negligibly small in comparison to the
space occupied by the gas.

Ans7. The gases show ideal behaviors when the volume of the occupied is large so that the
volume of the molecules can be neglected in comparison to it.

Ans8. The temperature at which a real gas obeys ideal gas law over an appreciable range
of pressure is called Boyle temperature or Boyle point.

Ans10. (i) At very low pressure, Z=1 and behave as ideal gas.
(ii) At high pressure, all gases have Z>1.
(iii) At intermediate pressures, most gases have Z<1.
