Answer:
At low pressures, the volume of the gas phase is large in comparison with the volume of the molecules. The parameter b becomes negligible in comparison with V and the attractive forces term a/V2 becomes insignificant; therefore, the van der Waals equation reduces to the ideal gas equation (Equation 15-44).
