Asked in Premeth Test 10 — GasesModerate

Which of the following is the deviation of real gases from ideal behavior attributed to?

Correct answer: D. Van der Waals

  • A. Boyle's law
  • B. Charles's law
  • C. Avogadro's law
  • D. Van der Waals

Explanation

Option D is correct since Van der Waals developed an explanation for the deviation of real gas from ideal gas and an equation that was able to fit the behavior of real gases over a much wider range of pressures.

About Gases

Gas behaviour is explained through the kinetic molecular theory and the relationships among pressure, volume and temperature. Work includes STP, Boyle's and Charles's laws, absolute zero, the ideal gas equation, and the distinction between ideal and real gases, especially the effects of intermolecular forces and molecular volume.
