How do real gases deviate from the ideal gas?

In: Physics, Chemistry [Edit categories]

Answer:

Ideal gas is only a term used to represent when we are assuming the behavior of a gas fits the principles of an ideal gas, so in reality all gases are real gases and when we use the term ideal gas when we are doing calculations . The difference between the two is that when looking at ideal gases the equations used assume that 1) gases occupy a negligible fraction of the total amount of gas and 2) The interaction between the individual gas molecules with each other is negligible. These two assumptions cause a difference between real and ideal gases, since gases in real life do in fact take up space and have intermolecular interaction.

What is an ideal gas and how is it different from a real gas?
Ideal gases are gases with negligible intermolecular forces and molecular volumes. Real gases have intermolecular forces and have definite volumes at room temperature and pressure (RTP).
How does an ideal gas diff from a real gas?
An ideal gas is a gas that has very little attraction between its particles. Ideal gases include Hydrogen and Helium. A real gas would have a lot of attraction between particles.
