Explain the physical significance of Van der Waals parameters.
(N/A) Physical significance of $a$:
$a$ is a measure of the magnitude of intermolecular attractive forces within a gas. It represents the pressure correction term in the Van der Waals equation.
Physical significance of $b$:
$b$ is a measure of the excluded volume per mole of a gas. It represents the volume correction term,accounting for the finite size of gas molecules.
