Question

Ideal gases obey gas laws. On the basis of ideal concept an equation, PV=nRT and kinetic equation, PV =1/3mc^2 equation are derived. The ideal gases obey these equations. But scientist Amagat and his co - workers established through experiments that the ideal gas concepts is an imaginary one. Our well known gases like H2, O2, N2 and CO2 etc. deviate from ideal behaviour.

(a)What are ideal and real gases?

(b) On what criteria a gas is an ideal one? Can real gas (N2, O2, H2 etc) behave an ideal one? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

An ideal gas is one that follows the gas laws at all conditions of temperature and pressure. ... A real gas is a gas that does not behave according to the assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory.0
