The correction factor ‘ ’ to the ideal gas equation corresponds to:

  1. A
    Electric field present between the gas molecules
  2. B
    Volume of the gas molecules
  3. C
    Density of the gas molecules
  4. D
    Forces of attraction between the gas molecules

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In the Van der Waals equation , the term ' ' accounts for the intermolecular forces of attraction between gas molecules, which reduces the pressure exerted by the real gas compared to an ideal gas.
