Q. What forces hold molecules together?
Intermolecular forces are electrostatic in nature and include van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds. Molecules in liquids are held to other molecules by intermolecular interactions, which are weaker than the intramolecular interactions that hold the atoms together within molecules and polyatomic ions.
Q. What do van der Waals constants mean?
The constants a and b are called van der Waals constants. The constant a provides a correction for the intermolecular forces. Constant b adjusts for the volume occupied by the gas particles. It is a correction for finite molecular size and its value is the volume of one mole of the atoms or molecules.

Q. What does A and B represent in van der Waals?
The constants a and b represent the magnitude of intermolecular attraction and excluded volume respectively, and are specific to a particular gas.
Q. How do you solve van der Waals?
The van der Waals equation is:
- [P + (n2a/V2)](V – nb) = nRT.
- P = [nRT/(V – nb)] – n2a/V2.
- To calculate Volume:
- To calculate the volume of a real gas, V in term n2a/V2 can be approximated as: nR/TP.
- V = nR3T3/(PR2T2+aP2) + nb.
- The van der Waals constants a and b of molecular N2 is 1.390000 and 0.039100, respectively.
Q. What is PV NRT called?
PV=nRT is called the ideal gas law in which pressure and volume of the gas are equal to the number of moles, the universal gas constant, and temperature.
Q. What does P equal in PV NRT?
The ideal gas law states that PV = NkT, where P is the absolute pressure of a gas, V is the volume it occupies, N is the number of atoms and molecules in the gas, and T is its absolute temperature.
Q. What units are used in PV nRT?
The units used in the ideal gas equation that PV = nRT are: P is pressure measured in Pascals. V is the volume measured in m….Thank you.

Q. How do you isolate P in PV nRT?
Explanation:
- Starting from the ideal gas law equation, isolate P on one side of the equation first.
- Since R represents a constant, you can write it separately.
- Now focus on the ratio that exists between number of moles, n , and temperature, T , on one side, and volume, V , on the other.
Q. Is PV nRT direct or inverse?
At constant temperature and pressure the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas. At constant temperature and volume the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas. Or you could think about the problem a bit and use PV=nRT. N2O is placed in a piston.
