THE GASEOUS
STATE
The corrections were introduced by Van der Waal, these were as follows:
1. Since the gas molecules possess material volume, it follows then that the volume within which the molecules are free to move
will be less than that containing them (volume of container). This volume, which may be called compressible volume حجم قابل
للضغط, is equal to (V- b), where V is the volume of the container, and b is a term connected with the actual incompressible
volume of molecules. حجم غير قابل للضغط
2. Since forces of attraction exist between the molecules of real gases the effect of these forces must be taken into consideration.
This is the Van der Waal equation as applied to 1 mole of gas. For "n" moles.
Explanation of the deviation or real gases on the basis of Van der Waal's equation
At low pressure At high pressure
Critical temperature
The temperature above which it is impossible to liquefy a gas no matter how great pressure is applied.
This temperature is called the "critical temperature".
Critical pressure
The minimum pressure necessary to liquefy a gas at critical temperature is the critical pressure
Critical volume
The volume occupied by one mole (of gas or liquid) at the critical pressure and critical
temperature is the critical volume
