Question
What are ideal gases?
Advertisements
Solution
The kinetic theory of gases which is the basis for the gas equation (PV = nRT), assumes that the individual gas molecules occupy negligible volume when compared to the total volume of the gas and there is no attractive force between the gas molecules. Gases whose behaviour is consistent with these assumptions under all conditions are called ideal gases.

A box contains 0.90 g of liquid water in equilibrium with water vapour at 27°C. The equilibrium vapour pressure of water at 27°C is 32.0 Torr. When the volume of the box is increased, some of the liquid water evaporates to maintain the equilibrium pressure. If the liquid water evaporates, then the volume of the box must be - litre (nearest integer) R = 0.0821 L atm K-1 mol-1.
(Ignore the volume of the liquid water and assume water vapours behave as an ideal gas)
