In the van der Waals equation of state for a gas, the constant ' ' is a measure of:

  1. A
    intermolecular repulsions
  2. B
    intermolecular collisions per unit volume
  3. C
    volume occupied by the molecules
  4. D
    intermolecular attraction

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In the van der Waals equation , the constant ' ' is known as the co-volume or excluded volume. It accounts for the actual finite volume occupied by the gas molecules themselves.
