Chemistry - Real Gas Question with Solution | TestHub
Consider the following statements about Z vs P graph for a real gas at a particular temperature?
(I) as for the real gas
(II) is negative as for the real gas
(III) at a pressure where repulsive and attractive forces are comparable.
(IV) At point X , intermolecular attractive forces dominate over repulsive forces.
(V) At point Y , the potential energy is maximum.
Choose the option having correct statements.
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
(I) as for a real gas
At very low pressure, a real gas behaves ideally.
(II) as
At slightly higher , attractive forces dominate .
(III) at a pressure where repulsive & attractive forces are comparable
when gas behaves ideally; it does not go to zero.
(IV) At point X, intermolecular attractive forces dominate over repulsive forces
(V) At point Y, potential energy is maximum
Attractive forces give minimum potential energy .
Correct statements: I, II, IV
