FAQs
Why do real gases deviate from ideal behavior? Under high pressure and low temperature, gas molecules have finite volume and intermolecular forces become significant.
What is the excluded volume ‘b’? It is the effective volume occupied by one mole of gas molecules, reducing the free space for motion.
How does Van der Waals equation correct pressure? It adds a term a/V^2 to account for attractive forces that reduce the observed pressure.
