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.

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.


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).


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".

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.


What is the role of the ideal gas constant, denoted as R, in thermodynamics?

The ideal gas constant, denoted as R, is a constant used in thermodynamics to relate the properties of gases, such as pressure, volume, and temperature. It helps in calculating the behavior of ideal gases in various thermodynamic processes and equations, such as the ideal gas law.


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 can a real gas be made to approach being an ideal gas?

Real gases approach ideal behavior at high temperature and low pressure. In this Condition gases occupy a large volume and molecules are far apart so volume of gas molecules are negligible and intermolecular force of attraction(responsible for non ideal behavior) become low. So gases approach ideal behavior.


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.


Why is the ideal gas law useful even though gases do not exist?

The ideal gas law is useful as an approximation for real gases in many situations where the gas behaves similarly to an ideal gas. It helps chemists and physicists predict the behavior of gases under different conditions without having to account for all the complexities of real gas behavior. While gases may not perfectly follow the ideal gas law, it provides a good starting point for understanding gas behavior.


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


Why cant a gas be an ideal gas?

There are ideal gases..


Why real gases deaviat from ideal behaviou?

It is assumed that Ideal Gases have negligible intermolecular forces and that the molecules' actualphysical 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.
