← ScienceWhich consequence results when Van der Waals constant 'a' increases significantly in the real gas equation?
A)Ideal gas behavior is approached
B)Intermolecular attraction increases substantially✓
C)Repulsive forces become more dominant
D)Gas compressibility approaches zero
💡 Explanation
Increased 'a' signifies stronger intermolecular attractions; this elevates internal gas pressure because the molecules cohere more tightly, therefore pressure decreases, rather than the gas behaving ideally with no intermolecular forces.
