Question
Do you expect the gas in a cooking gas cylinder to obey the ideal gas equation?
Advertisements
Solution
No, the gas won't obey ideal gas equation due to the following reasons:
1. In a cooking gas cylinder, the gas is kept at high pressure and at room temperature. Real gases behave ideally only at low pressure and high temperature.
2. Cooking gas is kept in liquid state inside the cylinder becaue liquid state does not obey the ideal gas equation.
