Non ideal behaviour of gases
Non ideal behaviour of gases | 1st year chemistry chapter 3
Gases deviate more from the general
gas equation at 0oC and deviate to less extent at 100oC. Why?
Ans. General gas equation is for
ideal gases (which have no forces of attraction). At 0oC molecules
are close to each other and have strong attraction, while at 100oC
molecules are far away from each other and have very weak attractions. Therefore,
Gases deviate more from the general gas equation at 0oC and deviate
to less extent at 100oC.
Hydrogen and helium are ideal at
room temperature, but SO2 and Cl2 are non-ideal. How do
you explain it?
Ans. Molecules of hydrogen and
helium are very far away and have no force of attraction at room temperature. While
molecules of SO2 and Cl2 are very close and have force of
attraction at room temperature. Therefore, Hydrogen and helium are ideal at
room temperature, but SO2 and Cl2 are non-ideal.
Why the gases deviate from ideal
behaviour at high pressure and low temperature? OR do you think that some of
the postulates of KMT of gases are incorrect?
Ans. At high pressure and low temperature
molecules of gases are close to each other and have forces of attraction. Moreover,
actual volume of gas is not negligible as compared to the total volume of
vessel. Therefore, we can say that some of the postulates of KMT of gases are
incorrect.
Water vapours do not behave ideally
at 273 K. Why?
Ans. At 273K (0oC) molecules
of water vapours are close to each other and have forces of attraction. So, Water
vapours do not behave ideally at 273 K.
Give two causes for deviation of
gases from ideality?
Ans. The two causes for deviation of
gases from ideality are
i.
There
are no forces of attraction between molecules of gas.
ii.
Actual
volume of gas is negligible as compared to the total volume of vessel.
SO2 is comparatively
non-ideal at 273 K but behave ideally at 327 K. Why?
Ans. At 273 K (0oC) molecules
of SO2 are close to each other and have forces of attraction. While at
327 K (54oC) molecules of SO2 are very far away from each
other and no forces of attraction between them. Therefore, SO2 is
comparatively non-ideal at 273 K but behave ideally at 327 K.
