For a van der Waals gas, a = 3.6 atm- and b = 0.03 L/mol. Select the correct possible graph(s)

[Given : R = 0.08 L-atm/mol-K]

Z versus P graphs

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, C
Solution:

Boyle temperature = a/(Rb) = 3.6/(0.08 × 0.03) = 1500 K.

Above , Z rises from 1.0 straight away (repulsion dominates). At the initial slope is zero and Z then rises. Below , Z first dips below 1.0.

(A) 2500 K > : monotonic rise, correct.

(B) 800 K < should show a dip first: incorrect.

(C) 1500 K = : flat start, then rise: correct.

(D) At , Z cannot fall below 1.0: incorrect.

Answer: (A), (C).
