Question

Consider the following table : Gas A/k Pa dm^3 mol^-1 b/(dm^3 mol^-1) A 642.32 0.05196 B 155.21 0.04136 C 431.91 0.05196 D 155.21 0.4382 a and b are vander Waals constants. The correct statement about the gases is : (1) Gas C will occupy more volume than gas A ; gas B will be more compressible than gas D (2) Gas C will occupy lesser volume than gas A ; gas B will be more compressible than gas D (3) Gas C will occupy lesser volume than gas A ; gas B will be lesser compressible than gas D (4) Gas C will occupy more volume than gas A ; gas B will be lesser compressible than gas D

Accepted Answer

Gas C will occupy lesser volume than gas A ; gas B will be lesser compressible than gas D. Gas C has a higher 'a' constant than gas A, indicating stronger intermolecular forces, which leads to a smaller volume under the same conditions. Additionally, gas B has the same 'a' constant as gas D but a significantly lower 'b' constant, making it less compressible than gas D.
