Chapter 10, Problem 136AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The cause of the negative deviation and positive the deviation from ideal behavior at lower and higher pressures respectively is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The ideal gas equation elaborates the physical properties of gases by relating the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles linked with each other with the help of four gas laws.

The ideal gas equation is represented as follows:

$PV=nRT$

Here, $P$ is the pressure, $T$ is the temperature, $V$ is the volume, $R$ is the gas constant, and $n$ is the number of moles.
