The relationship between the van der Waals 'b' coefficient of $\mathrm{N_2}$ and $\mathrm{O_2}$ is

(a)$b(\mathrm{N_2}) = b(\mathrm{O_2}) = 0$

(b)$b(\mathrm{N_2}) = b(\mathrm{O_2}) \neq 0$

(c)$b(\mathrm{N_2}) > b(\mathrm{O_2})$

(d)$b(\mathrm{N_2}) < b(\mathrm{O_2})$

Answer

Answer: C ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high

Explanation

b(N₂) = 0.0387 L mol⁻¹ > b(O₂) = 0.0318 L mol⁻¹ (c).
