1. The required focus question, J116, for today is
a. An ideal gas is one that would obey all the gas laws at every temperature and pressure. To do so such a gas would have to be
composed of point molecules which
continually undergo random elastic collisions with each other,
experience no attractive forces for each other, and
sweep out all the volume occupied by the gas by virtue of their motion.
Such an ideal gas exists only in the minds of thinkers such as ourselves. In full, intelligible sentences, explain why no real gas always behaves ideally.
b. Under what condition of temperature (high or low absolute temperature) would the predicted behavior of the ideal gas and the actual behavior of real gases differ most greatly? Please make your response longer than one sentence.
c. Under what condition of pressure (high or low gas pressure) would the predicted behavior of the ideal gas and the actual behavior...
