describe the limitations of the equation PV=RT.
Answers
Answer:
The limitations of the ideal gas equation, PV =Rt are :_
1.The kinetic theory assumes that gas particles occupy a negligible fraction of the total volume of the gas. 2.It also assumes that the force of attraction between gas molecules is zero. These limitations were corrected by Vander waal known as the real gas equation.
Answer
Below is the answer.
Explanation:
There are many limitations to the ideal gas law since it is based on hypotheses and not all of them are true. To elaborate lets take an example:
In the ideal gas law it says gas molecules are not attracted to one another and they are volume less.
But, when you condense a gas it turns liquid and has volume. Even when it is not turned to liquid compact gas still has volume. Similarly as the law says gas molecules do not attract each other but when a gas is cooled down its kinetic energy reduces making the particles slow and highly attractable to each other resulting in condensation.
