 SECTION–I : (iii) Paragraph Type
This section contains 1 paragraph describing theory, experiment, data etc. 2 questions relate to this
paragraph. Each question of a paragraph has only one correct answer among the four choices (A),
(B), (C) and (D). 3(0)
Paragraph for Q.12 to Q.13
The vander waals equation was proposed in the year 1873. It was a first step towards taking into
account interaction forces which are acting between real gases molecule. The equation of state of
the perfect gas refers to a gas consisting of point like items which do not interact with another.
The 'b' correction takes into account the fact that, according to vander waals, the real gas
molecules can move not in total volume occupied by the gas, but only in a part of this volume
which is defined by subtracting what he called molecules own volume. The correction 'a/v2 '-
proportional to the square of density takes into account the attraction forces existing between gas
molecules.
As far as the critical point, the following conditions are valid :
(/  v)T = 0, (2p/v2)T = 0
The vander Waals equation can be rearranged to a nondimensional form using the reduced
parameters.
Pr = P/PC, Tr = T/TC, Vr = V/VC

In this coordinates the vander waals equation becomes  Pr   (3Vr – 1) = 8 Tr
