Question

The unit for Van der Waals constant 'b' is?

Options
  • A

    mol dm-3

  • B

    dm3 

  • C

    m3 mol-1

  • D

    m3 mol

Explanation

Option A: This unit represents the concentration of a substance in moles per cubic decimeter. It is commonly used to express the concentration of a solution. However, the Van der Waals constant ‘b’ does not have this unit.

Option B: This unit represents volume in cubic decimeters, which is equivalent to liters. It is often used to measure the volume of a substance. However, the Van der Waals constant ‘b’ is not expressed in this unit.

Option C: This unit represents the inverse of molar volume. It indicates the volume occupied by one mole of a substance. The Van der Waals constant ‘b’ has this unit because it represents the volume excluded by one mole of a substance in the Van der Waals equation.

Option D: This unit represents the product of volume and amount of substance. However, the Van der Waals constant ‘b’ does not have this unit. 

This unit represents the concentration of a substance in moles per cubic decimeter. It is commonly used to express the concentration of a solution. However, the Van der Waals constant ‘b’ does not have this unit.
