The van der Waals equation of state was designed to predict the relationship between pressure p, volume V and temperature T for gases better than the Ideal Gas Law: n pta (V-nb) = nRT The van der Waals equation of state. R stands for the gas constant and n for the moles of gas. The van der Waals parameters a and b have to be determined for each gas by comparing to experimental data. Consider the hypothetical gases X, Y and Z listed in the table below. Use the information provided to decide the relative size of the van der Waals parameters a and b. gas heat of vaporization particle diameter kJ/mol pm size of a size of b Х ? X 12.7 269.
