It follows from this discussion that, at zero degrees absolute, the kinetic energy of an ideal gas, as well as its volume and pressure, would be zero. This agrees with the definition of absolute zero, which is the temperature at which all the molecules present have zero kinetic energy.
Because the kinetic energy of a molecule depends only on temperature, and not on size or type of molecule, equal molecular quantities of different gases at the same pressure and temperature would occupy equal volumes. The volume occupied by an ideal gas therefore depends on three things: temperature, pressure, and number of molecules moles present.
It does not depend on the type of molecule present. The gas law constant, R , is a proportionality constant that depends only on the units of p , V , n , and T. Tables 1A through 1C present different values of R for the various units of these parameters. The value of the gas constant is experimental, and more-accurate values are reported occasionally. The values in Tables 1A through 1C are based on the values reported by Moldover et al.
Note that because pV has the units of energy, the value of R is typically given in units of energy per mole per absolute temperature unit [e.

When a gas is cooled, the decrease in kinetic energy of the particles causes them to slow down. If the particles are moving at slower speeds, the attractive forces between them are more prominent. Another way to view it is that continued cooling of the gas will eventually turn it into a liquid and a liquid is certainly not an ideal gas anymore see liquid nitrogen in the figure below.
In summary, a real gas deviates most from an ideal gas at low temperatures and high pressures. Gases are most ideal at high temperature and low pressure. An ideal gas would have a value of 1 for that ratio at all temperatures and pressures, and the graph would simply be a horizontal line. As can be seen, deviations from an ideal gas occur. The ideality of a gas also depends on the strength and type of intermolecular attractive forces that exist between the particles.
Interactive: Seeing Intermolecular Attractions : Explore different types of attractions between molecules. The van der Waals equation modifies the Ideal Gas Law to correct for the excluded volume of gas particles and intermolecular attractions.
The Ideal Gas Law is based on the assumptions that gases are composed of point masses that undergo perfectly elastic collisions. However, real gases deviate from those assumptions at low temperatures or high pressures. Imagine a container where the pressure is increased. As the pressure increases, the volume of the container decreases.
The volume occupied by the gas particles is no longer negligible compared to the volume of the container and the volume of the gas particles needs to be taken into account. At low temperatures, the gas particles have lower kinetic energy and do not move as fast.
The gas particles are affected by the intermolecular forces acting on them, which leads to inelastic collisions between them. This leads to fewer collisions with the container and a lower pressure than what is expected from an ideal gas.
Derived by Johannes Diderik van der Waals in , the van der Waals equation modifies the Ideal Gas Law; it predicts the properties of real gases by describing particles of non-zero volume governed by pairwise attractive forces.
This equation of state is presented as:. Isotherm plots of pressure versus volume at constant temperature can be produced using the van der Waals model. It correctly predicts a mostly incompressible liquid phase, but the oscillations in the phase transition zone do not fit experimental data. The constants a and b have positive values and are specific to each gas.
The term involving the constant a corrects for intermolecular attraction. Attractive forces between molecules decrease the pressure of a real gas, slowing the molecules and reducing collisions with the walls. Notice that the van der Waals equation becomes the Ideal Gas Law as these two correction terms approach zero. The van der Waals model offers a reasonable approximation for real gases at moderately high pressures. Additional models have been subsequently introduced to more accurately predict the behavior of non-ideal gases.
Equations other than the Ideal Gas Law model the non-ideal behavior of real gases at high pressures and low temperatures. Describe the five factors that lead to non-ideal behavior in gases and relate these to the two most common models for real gases.
The Ideal Gas Law assumes that a gas is composed of randomly moving, non-interacting point particles. This law sufficiently approximates gas behavior in many calculations; real gases exhibit complex behaviors that deviate from the ideal model, however, as shown by the isotherms in the graph below. As temperature decreases, however, the isotherms on the lower portion of the graph significantly deviate from this ideal inverse relationship between P and V.
For most applications, the ideal gas approximation is reasonably accurate; the ideal gas model tends to fail at lower temperatures and higher pressures, however, when intermolecular forces and the excluded volume of gas particles become significant.
The model also fails for most heavy gases including many refrigerants and for gases with strong intermolecular forces such as water vapor. At a certain point of combined low temperature and high pressure, real gases undergo a phase transition from the gaseous state into the liquid or solid state.
The ideal gas model, however, does not describe or allow for phase transitions; these must be modeled by more complex equations of state. Real-gas models must be used near the condensation point of gases the temperature at which gases begin to form liquid droplets , near critical points, at very high pressures, and in other less common cases.
Several different models mathematically describe real gases. The Redlich-Kwong equation is another two-parameter relation that models real gases. It is almost always more accurate than the van der Waals equation and frequently more accurate than some equations with more than two parameters.
The equation is:. Note that a and b here are defined differently than in the van der Waals equation. Additional models that can be applied to non-ideal gases include the the Berthelot model, the Dieterici model, the Clausius model, the Virial model, the Peng-Robinson model, the Wohl model, the Beattie-Bridgeman model, and the Benedict-Webb-Rubin model.
However, these systems are used less frequently than are the van der Waals and Redlich-Kwong models. The graph below depicts how the compressibility factor varies with increasing pressure for a generalized graph. Note that the isotherms representing high temperatures deviate less from ideal behavior Z remains close to 1 across the graph , while for isotherms representing low temperatures, Z deviates greatly from unity.
Compressibility factor and pressure : At low temperatures, the compressibility factor for a generalized gas greatly deviates from unity, indicating non-ideal gas behavior; at high temperatures, however, the compressibility factor is much less affected by the increased pressure. Air pollution results from increasing levels of harmful molecules and particulates in the atmosphere.
