Gas Laws 4

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 z1. 

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

 

   Pv = nRt

 

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)

 

  PV = RT

 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.

 


= 0
= 0
(v - b) = RT (For 1 mole)
P =
Pv =
