Non-Ideal Gases and the Van der Waals Equation

The video discusses non-ideal gases, highlighting the assumptions made in ideal gas laws and the conditions under which these assumptions fail. It introduces the Van der Waals equation as a more accurate model for non-ideal gases, explaining its correction factors for pressure and volume. The video compares calculations using the ideal gas law and the Van der Waals equation, demonstrating the importance of using the latter under certain conditions.

How do the constants 'a' and 'b' in the Van der Waals equation relate to the properties of gas particles?

Discuss the significance of using the Van der Waals equation over the ideal gas law in real-world applications.

In the example provided, what were the calculated pressures using the ideal gas law and the Van der Waals equation?
