Questions and Answers

At extremely low pressures and high temperatures, what happens to the correction terms (b) and (a/V^2) of the Van der Waals equation?

  • They cause a significant increase in pressure
  • They are negligible (correct)
  • They become dominant
  • They have no effect on the equation
  • What is the reason why PV for H2 begins to increase sharply with an increase of pressure?

  • The b value for the volume of molecules predominates even at low pressure (correct)
  • The attraction forces between the molecules are very large
  • The temperature of the gas increases sharply
  • The value of a and hence the term a/V^2 are significant at low pressure
  • How can every gas be converted into a liquid state?

  • By decreasing temperature and increasing pressure (correct)
  • By increasing both temperature and pressure
  • By decreasing both temperature and pressure
  • By increasing temperature and decreasing pressure

    Study Notes

    Van der Waals Equation

    • The Van der Waals equation for 1 mole is: 𝒂𝒂 𝑷𝑷 + 𝟐𝟐 𝑽𝑽 − 𝒃𝒃 = 𝑹𝑹𝑹𝑹 𝑽𝑽
    • The equation can be rearranged to: 𝑷𝑷𝑷𝑷 − 𝒃𝒃𝒃𝒃 + 𝒂𝒂⁄ 𝑽𝑽 𝒂𝒂𝒂𝒂 = 𝑹𝑹𝑹𝑹

    Behavior of Real Gases at Low Pressure

    • At low pressure, P is small, and V is large
    • The terms Pb and ( ab/V2 ) are negligible values
    • As P increases, V decreases, and (a/V) increases; therefore, PV will decrease
    • This explains the dip part in the plot of PV vs P for gases such as CO2 and N2

    Behavior of Real Gases at High Pressure

    • At high pressure, P is high, and V is small
    • The terms (a/V) and ( ab/V2 ) cancel each other out
    • As P increases, Pb increases; therefore, PV will increase
    • This explains the positive deviation part in the plot of PV vs P for gases such as CO2 and N2
