Study Notes

Ideal Gases vs. Real Gases

Ideal gases have negligible volume, no intermolecular forces, and perfectly elastic collisions.
Real gases have appreciable volume, intermolecular forces, and non-elastic collisions.
Real gases behave more like ideal gases at low pressure and high temperature.

Compressibility Factor (Z)

Compressibility factor (Z) is a measure of how much a real gas deviates from ideal gas behavior.
For ideal gases, Z = 1.
Z = (P * Vm)/(R * T) where P is pressure, Vm is molar volume, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is temperature.

Van Der Waal's Equation

Van Der Waal's equation accounts for the non-ideal behavior of real gases by introducing correction factors for pressure and volume.
(P + n²a/V²)(V-nb)=nRT.
The pressure of a real gas is lower than that of an ideal gas.

Intermolecular Forces

Intermolecular forces are attractive forces between molecules.
Ion-dipole force: Attractive force between an ion and a polar molecule.
Ion-ion interaction: Strong attractive force between oppositely charged ions, often found in solid salts.
Dipole-dipole interaction: Attractive force between polar molecules.
The strength of intermolecular forces influences the state of matter: strongest in solids, weakest in gases.

Solutions

A binary solution is a homogeneous mixture of two components.
Classification of solutions:
- According to the amount of solute:
  - Unsaturated solution: Can dissolve more solute.
  - Saturated solution: Contains the maximum possible amount of dissolved solute at equilibrium.
  - Supersaturated solution: Contains more dissolved solute than the equilibrium amount.
- According to the nature of the solute:
  - Electrical conductivity: Solutions can be classified based on their ability to conduct electricity.
All solutions are mixtures, but not all mixtures are solutions.

Ideal Gases vs. Real Gases

Ideal gases are theoretical and do not have intermolecular forces
Real gases have intermolecular forces and take up space
Real gases behave more like ideal gases at low pressures and high temperatures

Compressibility Factor (Z)

The compressibility factor is a measure of how much a real gas deviates from ideal gas behavior
The compressibility factor is equal to 1 for ideal gases
The compressibility factor is calculated by dividing the product of pressure and molar volume by the product of the ideal gas constant and temperature

Van Der Waal's Equation

The van der Waal's equation is a modification of the ideal gas law to account for the intermolecular forces and volume of real gas molecules
The 'a' value represents attraction between gas molecules, the 'b' value represents the actual volume of the molecules themselves
The van der Waals equation predicts that the pressure of a real gas is lower than that of an ideal gas at the same temperature and volume

Intermolecular Forces

Intermolecular forces exist between molecules and are weaker than intramolecular forces that hold atoms together within a molecule
Ion-dipole forces involve an interaction between an ion and a polar molecule
Ion-ion attractions are strong and occur in solid states
Dipole-dipole interactions occur between polar molecules
The stronger the intermolecular force, the more difficult it is to separate the molecules. The stronger the force, the higher the melting and boiling points of that molecule.

Solutions

A binary solution has two components and is a homogeneous mixture
An unsaturated solution can dissolve more solute
A saturated solution contains the maximum possible amount of dissolved solute at a given temperature
A supersaturated solution contains more dissolved solute than the saturated solution
The electrical conductivity of a solution depends on the nature of the solute
