$A$ gas at $350 \; K$ and $15 \; bar$ has a molar volume $20$ percent smaller than that for an ideal gas under the same conditions. The correct option about the gas and its compressibility factor $(Z)$ is

  • A
    $Z > 1$ and attractive forces are dominant
  • B
    $Z > 1$ and repulsive forces are dominant
  • C
    $Z < 1$ and attractive forces are dominant
  • D
    $Z < 1$ and repulsive forces are dominant

Write the van der Waals equation.

The Van der Waals parameters for gases $W$,$X$,$Y$,and $Z$ are given below. Which one of these gases has the highest critical temperature?
$Gas$ $a \ (atm \ L^2 \ mol^{-2})$ $b \ (L \ mol^{-1})$
$W$ $4.0$ $0.027$
$X$ $8.0$ $0.030$
$Y$ $6.0$ $0.032$
$Z$ $12.0$ $0.027$

The term that corrects for the attractive forces present in a real gas in the van der Waals equation is

For $1$ mol of a real gas kept at constant temperature $T$,the graph of $PV$ vs $P$ intersects the $PV$ axis at $20$. Hence,the temperature $T$ is ($R$ = universal gas constant).

For real gases,the van der Waals equation is written as $\left( p + \frac{a n^2}{V^2} \right) (V - nb) = nRT$,where $a$ and $b$ are van der Waals constants. Two sets of gases are:
$(I)$ $O_2, CO_2, H_2, He$
$(II)$ $CH_4, O_2, H_2$
The gases given in set-$I$ are arranged in increasing order of $b$,and the gases given in set-$II$ are arranged in decreasing order of $a$. Select the correct order from the following:
