    Deviation from ideal gas behavior

    The deviation from ideal behavior in real gases is due to the interplay of attractive and repulsive forces between gas molecules.

    Effect of pressure on deviation

    Study Notes

    Kinetic Theory of Gases

    • Gases are substances with widely separated molecules in rapid motion.
    • Gases occupy the entire volume of their container.
    • Gases are highly compressible.
    • Gases mix evenly in a container.
    • Gases have much lower densities than liquids and solids.
    • Gases are normally in the gaseous state at 25°C and 1 atm pressure.
    • Vapor is the gaseous form of a liquid or solid at normal temperatures or pressures.

    Definition of Pressure

    • Pressure is the force exerted by a gas on the walls of its container.
    • Pressure = Force/Area
    • SI unit of pressure is the Pascal (Pa).
    • 1 Pa = 1 N/m² = (kg m s⁻²/m²) = 1 kg/ms²
    • Gas pressure is measured relative to atmospheric pressure.
    • 1 atm = 760 mm Hg = 760 Torr = 101325 Pa = 101.325 kPa

    Boyle's Law

    • The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant temperature and number of moles.
    • P * V = constant
    • P₁ * V₁ = P₂ * V₂

    Charles and Gay-Lussac's Law

    • At constant pressure, the volume of a fixed quantity of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature (in Kelvin).
    • V/T = constant
    • V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

    Avogadro's Law

    • The volume of a gas at constant temperature and pressure is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas.

    Real Gases and Deviations from Ideal Behavior

    • Real gases do not always follow the ideal gas law perfectly.
    • Deviations occur at high pressures and low temperatures.
    • Attractive and repulsive forces between gas molecules become significant at high pressures/low temperatures.

    Van Der Waals Equation of State

    • P(V - nb) = nRT
