The Ideal Gas• PV = nȒT or Pv = ȒT
Ȓ 1 1• Ȓ is the universal gas constant 8.3145 kJ kmole-1 K-1
• n = m/M
• PV = mRT, where R is the gas constant per unit mass of a
given gas, 0.2968 kJ/kg K for N2, 0.1889 kJ/kg K for CO2 etcg g g 2 g 2
• Obeyed as a limiting law by gases at low density where
inter-molecular forces are negligibleinter-molecular forces are negligible
• What constitutes low density, and by how much does a

Ideal gas approximation for water vapour
Ideal gas appro imation er good hen P << P for almost
BITSPilani, Pilani Campus
Ideal gas approximation very good when P << Pc for almost any T, and T > ~ 2Tc for even moderate pressures up-to ~ 5Pc
Deviations from ideality - corrections
Equations of State
• van der Waals (P + a/ṽ2)(ṽ - b) = ȒT, two parameter, cubic
equation of state
• Other equations of state – cubic and non-cubic, including
those applicable to liquids and gasesthose applicable to liquids and gases
• Virial equation of state Z = 1 + B(T)/ṽ + C(T)/ṽ2 + ....

Compressibility Factor Z• Z = Pv/RT• Z = 1 for ideal gas. Note below that Z → 1 as P → 0g• What do Z > 1 and Z < 1 signify?
BITSPilani, Pilani Campus
Compressibility Factor• Noting that Z = v/vid where vid is the specific volume of the corresponding ideal gas at the same T and p, we conclude that Z < 1 when attractive interactions dominate, and Z > 1 when repulsive ones do• Observe also that different gases display qualitatively• Observe also that different gases display qualitatively similar behaviour if compared at appropriate T and p values• Express the temperature and pressure in terms of the p p pcritical values for the chosen substance• Define the reduced variables Pr = P/Pc, Tr = T/Tc, vr = v/vc
N l t Z f ti f th d d f• Now plot Z as a function of the reduced pressure for various chosen values of the reduced temperature• The data for different gases fall close to the same line for aThe data for different gases fall close to the same line for a given Tr

Example• Estimate the saturation pressure for chlorine at 300 K.
From Table, Tc = 416.9 K and Pc = 7.98 MPa. So, Tr =
