Chemistry 231 Real Gases
Real Gases • The ideal gas equation of state is not sufficient to describe the P,V, and T behaviour of most real gases. • Most real gases depart from ideal behaviour at deviation from • low temperature • high pressure
Deviations from Ideal Gas Behaviour • Low Temperatures
Attractive Forces in Real Gases • The variation of the potential energy of two molecules on their separation. • High positive potential energy (little separation) • Repulsive interactions • Intermediate separations • attractive interactions dominate • Large separations (on the right) • the potential energy is zero and there is no interaction between the molecules.
Deviations from Ideal Gas Behaviour (cont’d) • High Pressures
Deviations from Ideal Behaviour • Real gas molecules do attract one another (Pid = Pobs + constant) • Real gas molecules are not point masses (Vid = Vobs - const.)
The Van der Waal's Equation of State • Vid = Vobs - nb • b is a constant for different gases • Pid = Pobs + a (n / V)2 • a is also different for different gases • Ideal gas Law Pid Vid = nRT • (Pobs + a (n / V)2) x (Vobs - nb) = nRT
Critical Constants • Critical temperature (Tc) - the temperature above whicha gas cannot be liquefied • Critical pressure (Pc) – the minimum pressure that needs to be applied at Tc to bring about liquefaction
Compression Factor • The compression factor
The Boyle Temperature • Boyle temperature - for a van der Waal's gas, the Boyle temperature (TB) is written
The Boyle Temperature #2 • For a perfect gas, the slope is zero • Boyle temperature • the slope is zero and the gas behaves perfectly over a wider range of conditions than at other temperatures.
Critical Constants for Van der Waals’s Gases • At the critical point
Reduced Variables • The reduced state variables are defined
The Law of Corresponding States • All substances obey the same equation of state in terms of the reduced variables. • Degree of generality.
