Answer to Question #231785 in General Chemistry for Alyssa

Question

Explain the difference between an ideal gas and a real gas.

Answer 1

Ideal gas: Ideal gas can be defined as a gas that obeys all gas laws at all conditions of pressure and temperature. Ideal gases do not condense. They also do not have a triple point. Ideal gases have mass and velocity.

Real gas: Real gases are defined as the gases that do not obey gas laws at all standard pressure and temperature. Real gases condense when cooled to their boiling point. They have velocity, mass and volume.
