Test: Physical Chemistry
Given the van der Waals Equation:
| 1. | Which statement accurately identifies and explains the corrections that van der Waals made to the ideal gas law, where the first correction is the |
term and the second correction is the 
term?The first correction corrects for volume of molecules by increasing volume as a function of the number of molecules, and the second correction corrects for molecular attraction by decreasing pressure as volume increases and number of molecules increases.
The first correction corrects for volume of molecules by decreasing volume as a function of the number of molecules, and the second correction corrects for molecular attraction by increasing pressure as volume increases and number of molecules increases.
