Chapter 11, Problem 11.92QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Which of the given following gases would behave most ideal has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Ideal gas is the most usually used form of the ideal gas equation, which describes the relationship among the four variables P, V, n, and T. An ideal gas is a hypothetical sample of gas whose pressure-volume-temperature behavior is predicted accurately by the ideal gas equation.

$\text{PV = nRT}$

The van der Waals equation corrects for the volume of, and attractive forces between, gas molecules:

$\left(\text{P+}\frac{{\text{an}}^{\text{2}}}{{\text{V}}^{\text{2}}}\right)\text{(V-nb)}\text{=}\text{nRT}$
