Under all temperature & pressure. No gas is ideal but they are real gases which obeys ideal gas eq. at low pressure & high temperature.
Ideal gas is characterised by following postulates:
(1) Ideal gas cannot be liquefied.
(2) There is no force of attraction b/w gas molecule.
(3) Volume of ideal gas molecule is negligible as compared to containce For ideal gas Compressibility factor z = 1

For real gas z 1. z > 1 (Volume of gas is relatively more dominant) It shows +ve deviation. This implies gas is less compressible. z < 1 (Force of attraction of gas molecule is relatively more dominant) It shows -ve deviation. This implies gas is more compressible.z = ................................................ (i) If gas shows ideal behaviourPvideal= nRT videal= Substituting in (i) z = into account, force of attraction among molecule as nell as volume of gaseous molecule.

Derivation
:Correction for volume : Suppose volume occupied by gas molecules is v. When molecules are moving their effective is 4 times factual volume i.e. 4v.b = 4v (excluded volume) corrected volume = (v - nb) for n moles
Dumb Question
: Why effective volume is 4 times of actual volume ? Ans: Excluded volume of 2 molecules is sphere of radius of 2R where R radius of ...Excluded volume for two molecule Excluded volume for one molecule ?


Constant 'a' measures force of attraction. Greater value 'a', higher intermolecular force of attraction. Dumb Question
: How unit of 'a' = atm L mol ? Ans: P = 
a = atm2L mol-2Units of 'b' = L mol-1
Different forms of Vander Waal Equation
: (i)At very low pressure : v is very large. Hence, correction term a/v2is negligible correction term 'b' is also negligible. Now Equation reduced to That's why real gas behave like ideal gas at very low pressure. (ii)At mederate pressure :V decreases. Hence a/v2 increases & cannot neglected but b is negligible because volume is still high. v = RT (for 1 mole)

(iii)At high pressure : v is so small so b cannot be neglected. Factor a/v2is no doubt large but as P is very high, a/v2can be neglected.

(iv)At high temperature : v is very large (at constant pressure). So, that both correction factors are negligible. (a/v2& b) So, at high temperature, real gases behave like ideal gas. *Tip
: Gases tend to behave ideally at high temperature and low pressure and non ideally at low temperature and high pressure.
Illustration: Calculate pressure exerted by 110g of CO2 in vessel of 2L at 270C. Given that Vander Waal's constants are a = 3.59 L2 atm mol-2 & b = 0.0427 L mol-1. Ans: According to Vander Waal's Equation

n = = 2.5 mol. P = P = = (33.61 - 5.61) atm = 28 atm Shows ideal gas behaviour. Mathematically defined.
