IDEAL GAS VS REAL GAS

IDEAL GAS
REAL GAS

PV=nRT


(P + an2)(V - nb)=nRT
                          V2
Condition : Low Pressure, High temperature
Condition: Low temperature, high Pressure

When pressure decrease, Volume increase
     ·         Distance between gas molecules far          apart
     ·         The volume of gas too small                        compared  to volume of the container
     ·         Thus volume of gas molecules is                negligible
When pressure increase, volume decrease
     ·         The distance between gas molecules        become closer
     ·         Volume of gas become significant and       cannot be neglect
When temperature increase
     ·         Kinetic energy of gas molecules                 increase
     ·         Molecules move faster and able to             overcome the intermolecular forces           between molecules
     ·        Thus, the attractive forces between           gas molecules can be neglect.
When temperature decrease
     ·         Kinetic energy of gas decrease
     ·         Gas molecules are close to each                other and move slower
     ·         The attractive forces between gas              molecules become significant

 In Van Der Waals equation:6

n term of pressure (P an2)
                                       V2
In term of volume (V - nb)
At low temperature, average kinetic energy of gas decrease
At high pressure, volume of container decrease
Gas move slower and intermolecular forces become significant

Gas molecules are much closer and volume of gas molecules become significant
The frequency of collision on the wall container decrease

As a result:
P real< P ideal

As a result:
Vreal > V ideal
The factor an2/V2 is added to the P term correct the pressure of real gas which is smaller than ideal gas

The factor nb is substracted from the V term to correct the volume of real gas which is larger than ideal gas.
a is constant to correct for intermolecular forces
b is constant to correct for volume occupied by gas molecules
The higher the a value, the stronger the attractive forces between gas molecules
The higher the b value, the bigger the volume occupied by gas molecules
