Chapter 6, Problem 6.17QE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason behind the ideal gas law not obeyed at higher pressures has to be described.

Concept Introduction:

Any gas obeys the assumption laid down in kinetic molecular theory is said to be an ideal gas. The combination of all the gas laws namely Boyle’s law, Charles law and Avogadro’s leads to the ideal gas equation that can be used to relate all the four properties such as given below:

  $PV=nRT$        (1)

Where, $R$ is the universal gas constant.

$V$ denotes the volume.

$n$ denotes the temperature.

$P$ denotes the pressure.

$T$ denotes the temperature.
