Ideal and Real Gases
Ideal gases obey conditions of the general gas laws under all states of pressure and temperature. Ideal gases are also named perfect gases. The attributes of ideal gases are as follows,
Gas Laws
Gas laws describe the ways in which volume, temperature, pressure, and other conditions correlate when matter is in a gaseous state. The very first observations about the physical properties of gases was made by Robert Boyle in 1662. Later discoveries were made by Charles, Gay-Lussac, Avogadro, and others. Eventually, these observations were combined to produce the ideal gas law.
Gaseous State
It is well known that matter exists in different forms in our surroundings. There are five known states of matter, such as solids, gases, liquids, plasma and Bose-Einstein condensate. The last two are known newly in the recent days. Thus, the detailed forms of matter studied are solids, gases and liquids. The best example of a substance that is present in different states is water. It is solid ice, gaseous vapor or steam and liquid water depending on the temperature and pressure conditions. This is due to the difference in the intermolecular forces and distances. The occurrence of three different phases is due to the difference in the two major forces, the force which tends to tightly hold molecules i.e., forces of attraction and the disruptive forces obtained from the thermal energy of molecules.

**Title: Diffusion of Gases Experiment**
**Experiment Description:**
In this experiment, we aim to determine which gas, ammonia (NH₃) or hydrogen chloride (HCl), travels further in a glass tube, demonstrating the concept of diffusion.
**Diagram Explanation:**
- **Glass Tube Setup:**
- On the left side, there is cotton wet with ammonia solution (NH₃ in aqueous form), and on the right side, there is cotton wet with hydrochloric acid solution (HCl in aqueous form).
- The tube is divided into two sections with air in between.
- **Diffusion Process:**
- NH₃ molecules diffuse from the left to the right, represented by arrows pointing rightwards.
- HCl molecules diffuse from the right to the left, represented by arrows pointing leftwards.
- The distances traveled by these gases are labeled as \(d_{NH₃}\) and \(d_{HCl}\).
- **Chemical Reaction:**
- A white ring of ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) forms at the point where NH₃ and HCl gases meet inside the tube. This indicates the reaction:
\[
\text{NH₃(g)} + \text{HCl(g)} \rightarrow \text{NH₄Cl(s)}
\]
**Question:**
Which of these gases, NH₃ or HCl, traveled further in the tube?
**Multiple Choice Options:**
- NH₃
- H₂
- HCl
- N₂
- None of the above
**Conclusion:**
This experiment visually demonstrates the concept of diffusion, where different gases travel at different rates due to their molecular weights and other properties, causing them to meet and react at a specific point within the tube.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F1c9a3da8-b443-4c7b-9ddb-d4ba4f71dd14%2F802cf364-9bbe-4669-a13c-e61dc696e3d1%2Fc61bi2b_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
