As we learnt in

Vander waal equation for real gas -

\left (p+\frac{an^{2}}{v} \right )(V-nb)=nRT

- wherein

a, b : Vander waal Constants, P- Pressure, V- Volume, n- No. of moles, R- Gas Constant, T- Temperature

 

 

The constant b is a measure of volume of the molecule 

b=4N_{A}\times\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

Correct option is 3.

 


Option 1)

Option 2)

intermolecular attraction

This is an incorrect option.

Option 3)

volume occupied by the molecules

This is the correct option.

Option 4)
