What is the major factor that accounts for most of the difference in these two values of pressure (ideal gas law vs. van der Waals equation)? | Socratic
![Using Van der Waals equation, [ P + a/V^2 ](V - b) = RT , at high pressure, the Van der Waals equation gets reduced to : Using Van der Waals equation, [ P + a/V^2 ](V - b) = RT , at high pressure, the Van der Waals equation gets reduced to :](https://dwes9vv9u0550.cloudfront.net/images/4070363/cebcd82b-7eb7-40b6-b09d-f4dcd3623226.jpg)
