Q16 · CSIR-NET Chemistry, June 2019

Paper: CSIR-NET June 2019 · Subject: Physical Chemistry · Chapter: Thermodynamics · Topic: Laws State Functions · Marks: 2 · Difficulty: Medium

A non-ideal gas, follows the equation
\[ P=\frac{R T}{V_{m}}\left[1+\frac{B}{V_{m}}\right] \]
where $B$ is a function of temperature only. The deviation in internal energy from that of an ideal gas, $\mathrm{U}-U_{\text {ideal }}$ ideal is given by
(a)$-\frac{R T}{V_{m}}\left(\frac{\partial B}{\partial T}\right)_{V}$
(b)$-\frac{R T^{2}}{V_{m}}\left(\frac{\partial B}{\partial T}\right)_{V}$
(c)$-\frac{R T^{2}}{V_{m}} B$
(d)$-\frac{R T}{V_{m}} B$
Answer
Answer: B ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high
Explanation
(∂U/∂V)_T = T(∂p/∂T)_V − p = (RT²/V_m²)(dB/dT). Integrating from V_m = ∞ (ideal) to V_m gives U − U_ideal = −(RT²/V_m)(dB/dT).
