3.6 Deviation from the Ideal Gas Law

  • The ideal gas law and KMT are not perfect representations of how gases behave.

  • In reality, gases do experience IMFs and gravity, and they do not have perfectly elastic collisions.

  • Gases behave more ideally at high temperatures and low pressure.

  • Gases with stronger IMFs or gases near their boiling point behave less ideally.

  • The pressure value will exceed what is predicted by the ideal gas law because it does not consider molecular volume.

  • Lower pressure than would be predicted because the ideal gas law does not consider IMFs.
