प्रश्न
In a real gas, the internal energy depends on temperature and also on volume. The energy increases when the gas expands isothermally. Examining the derivation of Cp − Cv = R, find whether Cp − Cv will be more than R, less than R or equal to R for a real gas.

उत्तर
In a real gas, as the internal energy depends on temperature and volume, the derived equation for an ideal gas
(dQ)P = (dQ)v + nRdT will change to
(dQ)P = (dQ)v + nRdT+ k ,where k is the change in internal energy (positive) due to change in volume when pressure is kept constant. So, in the case of a real gas, for n=1 mole (say),
CP -Cv =R + `k/(dt)`
⇒ CP - Cv > R,
where Cp and Cv are the specific heat capacities at constant pressure and volume, respectively.

[Hint: Assume the atoms to be ‘tightly packed’ in a solid or liquid phase, and use the known value of Avogadro’s number. You should, however, not take the actual numbers you obtain for various atomic sizes too literally. Because of the crudeness of the tight packing approximation, the results only indicate that atomic sizes are in the range of a few Å].
