It is assumed that Ideal Gases have negligible intermolecular forces and that the molecules' actual
physical volume is negligible. Real Gases have the molecules closer together so that intermolecular forces and molecules' physical volumes are no longer negligible. High pressures and low temperatures tend to produce deviation from Ideal Gas Law and Ideal Gas behavior.

What are real and ideal gases and are all real gases ideal?

Ideal gases can be explained by the Kinetic Molecular Theory: 1) no attraction between gas particles 2) volume of individual gas particles are essentially zero 3) occupy all space available 4) random motion 5) the average kinetic energy is directly proportional to Kelvin Real gases has volume and attraction exists between gas particles. No gas behaves entirely ideal. Real gases act most ideal when temperature is is high and at low pressure.


Why do real gases deviate from ideal behavior?

Real gases deviate from ideal behavior due to factors such as intermolecular forces, molecular volume, and pressure. These factors cause real gases to occupy more space and have interactions that differ from the assumptions of the ideal gas law.


Which description applies to real gases rather than ideal gases?

Real gases deviate from ideal behavior at high pressures and low temperatures due to interactions between gas molecules. Real gases have non-zero volumes and experience intermolecular forces, unlike ideal gases which have zero volume and do not interact with each other.


How does an ideal gas diff from a real gas?

Ideal gases are gases with negligible intermolecular forces and molecular volumes. Real gases have intermolecular forces and have definite volumes at room temperature and pressure (RTP).


When do real gases act least like ideal gases?

Real gases act least like ideal gases under conditions of high pressure and low temperature, where the gas molecules are closer together and experience intermolecular forces that are not accounted for in the ideal gas law.


What are two characteristics of an ideal gas that are not true of a real gas?

they have no volume and their molecular force of attraction is negligible


What is an imaginary gas that conforms perfectly to the kinetic molecular theory callled?

That's called an "ideal gas". The behavior of real gases is quite similar to an ideal gas, except when the pressure is too high, or the temperature too low.That's called an "ideal gas".

What is the real gas formula used to calculate the behavior of gases under non-ideal conditions?

The real gas formula used to calculate the behavior of gases under non-ideal conditions is the Van der Waals equation.


Do real gases follow the ideal gas equation?

The gas which obeyed the gas laws at all conditions of temperature and pressure would be called an ideal gas. They don't actually exist. Real gases obey the gas laws approximately under moderate conditions. Some other points of distinction that can be considered are:Ideal gases are incompressible, non-viscous & non-turbulent.Real gases are compressible, viscous & turbulent.


How does the ideal gas law relate to real gases?

Ideal gas law states that there are no inter molecular attractions between gas molecules and that ideal gas does not occupy space therefore having no volume. However, a real gas does have intermolecular attractions and does have a volume.


Why Real gases do not obey gas laws?

Real gases do not obey gas laws because these gases contains forces of attractions among the molecules..and the gases which do not contain forces of attraction among their molecules are called ideal gases and they obey gas laws.


Do real gases behave like ideal gases except at very high temperatures?

Gases behave most ideally at low pressure and high temperatures. At low pressures, the average distance of separation among atoms or molecules is greatest, minimizing interactive forces. At high temperatures, the atoms and molecules are in rapid motion and are able to overcome interactive forces more easily.
