Which of the following represents the $Van \ der \ Waals$ equation for $n$ moles of a real gas?

  • A
    $nRT = \left( P + \frac{a}{V^2} \right) (V - b)$
  • B
    $nRT = \left( P - \frac{a}{V^2} \right) (V - b)$
  • C
    $nRT = \left( P + \frac{a}{V^2} \right) (V + b)$
  • D
    $nRT = \left( P + \frac{n^2a}{V^2} \right) (V - nb)$
