Real gases behave like ideal gases in the limits of low pressures and high temperatures, but they deviate significantly at high pressures and low temperatures. The compressibility factor Z = PV/nRT is a convenient measure of the deviation from ideal gas behavior. If the ratio (Z = PV/nRT) is plotted against P at constant temperature, […]
An ideal gas is a fundamental theoretical model in chemistry and physics that simplifies the behavior of real gases. This hypothetical gas assumes molecules have negligible volume and experience no intermolecular forces, perfectly following kinetic theory principles. While no real gas is truly ideal, this model provides essential insights into pressure, volume, and temperature relationships […]
Matter makes up everything around us — from the air we breathe to the stars in the sky. But did you know it transforms between distinct states? In this guide, we’ll explore the fundamental states of matter (solid, liquid, and gas), their properties, real-world examples, and how they shape our universe. Perfect for students, educators, […]
