Why do real gases deviate from the ideal gas laws at low temperatures?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Debora [2.8K]3 years ago

As the molecules of gas interact, they are attracted to each other, following ideal laws, but they also collide with one another, and this makes them deviate from them. High pressures and low temperatures can also cause them to deviate, this is because the more pressure there is or the lower temperature there is, the closer together the molecules are, and the more they collide.

The answer is: The volume of a real gas is larger than expected from the ideal gas equation at low temperatures.

An ideal gas is:  

1) made up of molecules which are in constant random motion in straight lines.  

2) all collisions are perfectly elastic, there is no loss of kinetic energy during the collision.  

3) follows ideal gas law: p·V = n·R·T.  

4) the gas particles have negligible volume.  

At low temperatures, volume of the gas is not negligible.

Examine the reaction. NH4OH(aq) →H2O(l) + NH3(g)
shusha [124]

Answer:  A.  1,1,1

Explanation:

The coefficients that will balance the equation; NH4OH(aq) →H2O(l) + NH3(g), is 1, 1, 1, because it proves the total number of atoms of each element on the LHS and RHS of the equation are equal, hence balanced.

LHS          RHS

N = 1            1

H = 5          5

O = 1            1

a 1.25g sample of ore containing iron pyrite (FeS2) was pulverized and ignited in air, converting the FeS2 to Fe2O3 and SO2(g).
svp [43]

Answer:

28.9%

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced equation.

2 FeS₂ + 11/2 O₂ ⇒ Fe₂O₃ + 4 SO₂

We can establish the following relations:

  • The molar mass of Fe₂O₃ is 159.6 g/mol
  • 1 mole of Fe₂O₃ is produced per 2 moles of FeS₂
  • 1 mole of Fe is in 1 mole of FeS₂
  • The molar mass of Fe is 55.84 g/mol

The amount of Fe in the sample that produced 0.516 g of Fe₂O₃ is:

0.516gFe_{2}O_{3}.\frac{1molFe_{2}O_{3}}{159.6gFe_{2}O_{3}} .\frac{2molFeS_{2}}{1molFe_{2}O_{3}} .\frac{1molFe}{1molFeS_{2}} .\frac{55.84gFe}{1molFe} =0.361gFe

The percent of Fe in 1.25 g of the ore is:

\frac{0.361g}{1.25g} .100\%=28.9\%

Popeye wants to make a dilute spinach solution for Sweetpea's bottle. How much 3.0 M spinach solution should he add to the 500.0
Lynna [10]

Answer : The volume of 3.0 M spinach solution added should be, 50 mL

Explanation :

Formula used :

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

where,

M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the initial molarity and volume of spinach solution.

M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the final molarity and volume of diluted spinach solution.

We are given:

M_1=3.0M\\V_1=?\\M_2=0.30M\\V_2=500.0mL

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:

3.0M\times V_1=0.30M\times 500.0mL\\\\V_1=50mL

Hence, the volume of 3.0 M spinach solution added should be, 50 mL

What is the Ka of a 0.0796 M solution of nitrous acid (HNO2) with a pH of 2.95?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Coefficient = 1.58

Exponent = - 5

Explanation:

pH = 2.95

Molar concentration = 0.0796M

Ka = [H+]^2 / [HA]

Ka = [H+]^2 / 0.0796

Therefore ;

[H+] = 10^-2.95

[H+] = 0.0011220 = 1.122 × 10^-3

Ka = [H+] / molar concentration

Ka = [1.122 × 10^-3]^2 / 0.0796

Ka = (1.258884 × 10^-6) / 0.0796

Ka = 15.815 × 10^-6

Ka = 1.58 × 10^-5

Coefficient = 1.58

Exponent = - 5
