Question

why does nitrogen gas behaves as a real gas at room temperature?

Answer 1

generally a gas behaves more like an ideal gas at highertemperature and lower pressure as the potential energy due to intermolecular forces becomes less significant compared with the particles kinetic energy and the size of the molecules becomes less significant compared to the empty space between them

Answer 2

Hey dear,

● Ideal gas -
- Ideal gas is a hypothetical gas whose molecules occupy negligible space and have no interactions, and which consequently obeys the gas laws exactly.
- At room temperature, N2 exists as diatomic gas molecule.
- Here, empty space between molecules is very much as compared to molecular size.
- Also, potential energy is negligible wrt kinetic energy of colliding molecules.
- Hence, N2 behaves as ideal gas at room temperature.
