Textbook Question
Textbook Question(II) In the van der Waals equation of state, the constant b represents the amount of “unavailable volume” (per mole) occupied by the molecules themselves. Thus V is replaced by (V - nb) , where n is the number of moles. For oxygen, b is about 3.2 x 10⁻⁵ m³ /mol . Estimate the diameter of an oxygen molecule.
