A van der Waal's gas obeys the equation of state $\left(p+\frac{n^2 a}{V^2}\right)(V-n b)=n R T$. Its internal energy is given by $U=C T-\frac{n^2 a}{V}$. The equation of a quasistatic adiabat for this gas is given by
  • A$T^{C / n R} \cdot V=$ constant
  • B$T^{(C+n R) / n R} \cdot V=$ constant
  • C$T^{C / n R} \cdot(V-n b)=$ constant
  • D$p^{(C+n R) / n R} \cdot(V-n b)=$ constant
