Real gases shows deviation than ideal gases. Explain with examples. |
|
Answer» Solution :(A) According of Boyle.s Law, Explanation of graph of `pV to p` (constant) : Theoretical value is `pV to nRT`. At constant temperature and all pressure, parallel to X - axis LINE is obtained for graph `pV to p`. Because parallel to X - axid STRAIGHT line obtained. According to Boyle.s law for graph `pV to p`. But in real graph for `pV to p` is not obtained straight line. In figure (graph) against are shown ast constant temperature `pV to p`. This grpah is not straight line for ideal gas and shows deviation with ideal gas. ![]() More over it is not parallel to X - axis as an ideal gas. Graph Type - 1 : Graph of Dihydrogen and Helium are strasight line and pV increases with increasing pressure. Graph Type - 1 : The real gas Carbon MONOXIDE (CO) and Methane `(CH_(4))` shows different type of curve. According to curve, CO and `CH_(4)` gas shows negative deviation with Ideal gas. Value of pV decreases with increasing in pressure. Vaslue of pV decreases with increasing in pressure and reached at minimum value. After that value of pV increases with increasing in pressure and it intercept line of ideal gas and deviation becomes zero. Value of pV increases with increasing in pressure and continuously positive deviation observed. So real gases do not follow ideal gas equation in each energy condition. (B) According of Boyle.s LAw, Explanation of deviation of graph of `p to V` (T constant ):Graph of `p to V` of real gas shows deviation than ideal gas is shown in graph, `p to V` curve is given according to Boyle.s Law and some experimental information. ![]() This graph indicate that, (i) Measured volume at high pressure (volume of real gas is higher than ideal gas). (ii) Volume of real gas measured at low pressure it will be nearest thans volume of ideal gas. From result of A & B. Prove that real gases do not follow Boyle.s Law, Charle.s Law and Avogradro.s Law. |

Real gases deviated from ideal behaviour due to the following two faulty assumptions of kinetic theory of gases : (i) Actual volume occupied by the gas molecule is negligible as compared to the total volume of the gases (ii) Forces of attraction and repulsion among gas molecules are negligible To explain the extent of deviation of the real gas from ideal behaviour in terms of compressibility or compression factor (z), which is the function of pressure and temperature for real gases z = (P_(0)V_(0))/(nRT) For ideal gases z = 1. for real gases either z gt 1 " or " z gt 1. When z gt 1, then it is less compressible because force of repulsion dominates over force of attraction. When z lt 1, force of attraction dominates over the repulsion and it is more compressible. Graph in between z and P is shown below on increasing the temperature, z increases and approaches to unity. Graph between z and p at different temperature are as under Answer the following questions on the basis of above write up : Which of the following statements is correct ? |
