60
New cards
<p>Real Gases: Compression</p>

Real Gases: Compression

high V: Preal = Pideal because particles are too far apart to experience attractions (KE wins!)

low V: Preal < Pideal because attractions keep particles closer together and less likely to collide with the walls (PE wins!)

a is accounts for attraction; b is accounts for "bigness"

because high kinetic energy outweighs potential energy
