In the van der Waals equation for gases,what does the constant $b$ represent?

At $300 \ K$,one mole of a gas present in a $10 \ L$ flask exerted a pressure of $2.706 \ atm$. What is its compressibility factor $(Z)$? (Given $R=0.082 \ L \ atm \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}$).

The $P$ vs $V$ graph is plotted for $1$ $mole$ of a hypothetical gas. Based on the given isotherms at $200 \ K$ and $300 \ K$,determine the range of $\frac{a}{b}$ for this gas in $atm-L \ mole^{-1}$. [Given: $R = 0.08 \ atm-L \ mole^{-1} \ K^{-1}$]

In the van der Waals equation of state for a real gas,the term representing intermolecular forces is .......

Consider the van der Waals constants,$a$ and $b$,for the following gases:

Gas	$Ar$	$Ne$	$Kr$	$Xe$
$a / (atm \ dm^6 \ mol^{-2})$	$1.3$	$0.2$	$5.1$	$4.1$
$b / (10^{-2} \ dm^3 \ mol^{-1})$	$3.2$	$1.7$	$1.0$	$5.0$

Which gas is expected to have the highest critical temperature?

Under which conditions will a real gas behave most like an ideal gas?
