Section (B) : Vander waal equation and virial equation of state
Th2 Real Gases:
 Real gases do not obey the ideal gas laws exactly under all conditions of temperature and pressure.
 Real gases deviates from ideal behaviour because
  Real gas molecules have a finite volume.
{Since on liquefaction real gases occupy a finite volume}
  Inter molecular attractive forces between real gas molecules is not zero.
{Real gases can be converted into liquid where as ideal gases cant be}
 Deviation of real gases from ideal behaviour can be measured by using compresibility factor: (Z)

 Variation of Z with pressure at constant temperature :

Variation of Z with pressure at different temperature (for same gas ) :

Conclusions :
Z = 1 for ideal gas ; Z > 1 at all pressures for He/H2
Z < 1 at low pressure (for all other gases) ; Z > 1 at high pressure (for all other gases)

Th3 Vander Waal Equation of real gases:

The ideal gas equation does not consider the effect of attractive forces and molecular volume.

Real Gases
Der.1  Volume orrection :
Ideal gas equation :
Pi Vi = nRT; In the equation ‘Vi’ stands for the volume which is available for free movement of the
molecules.
Videal = volume available for free movement of gaseous molecule
Hence, Vi = V – {volume not available for free movement}
For an ideal gas Vi = V {V = volume of container}
But for a real gas Vi  V, as all the volume is not available for free movement

Molecules have finite volume :

1 4 3
Excluded volume per molecule =  (2r)  = Co-volume per molecule.
2 3 
The volume that is not available for free movement is called excluded volume.
let us see, how this excluded volume is calculated.

r r

Excluded volume
(not available for free momement)
For above example, the entire shaded region is excluded, as
its centre of mass cannot enter this region.
If both molecules were ideal, then they would not have
experienced any excluded volume but not in the case, of real
gas as the centre of mass of ‘2’ cannot go further.
1 4 3 4 3 
Hence for this pair of real gas molecules, excluded volume per molecule =  (2r)  = 4  r 

4 
F4 Excluded volume per mole of gas (b) = NA × 4 ×  r 3  = 4 × NA × Volume of individual molecule
3 
for n moles, excluded volume = nb
Vi = V – nb volume correction
  Pressure correction or effect of molecular attraction forces :

Due to these attraction, speed during collisions will be reduced

Momentum will be less
Force applied will be less
Pressure will be less.
Pideal = P + {correction term}
Correction term  no. of molecules attracting the colliding molecule  (n/v).

When Z < 1, Vm < Vm, ideal  easily liquifiable

Ex-4. Two vander waals gases have same value of b but different a values. Which of these would occupy
greater volume under identical conditions ?
Sol. If two gases have same value of 'b' but different values of 'a', then the gas having a larger value of 'a'
will occupy lesser volume. This is because the gas with a larger value of 'a' will have larger force of
attraction and hence lesser distance between its molecules.

B – second virial coefficient, C – third virial coefficient, D – fourth virial coefficient.
The coefficients B, C...depend on the temperature but not the density and are known as virial
coefficients. Both B and C are negatige at low temperature and positive at high temperature.
The virial coefficients are determined by the intermolecular potential.
B represents the effects of interactions between pairs of molecules, C interactions among triplets of
molecules, and so forth.

1. In vander Waal’s equation of state of the gas law, the constant ‘b’ is a measure of: [AIEEE-2004, 3/225]
(1) Intermolecular collisions per unit volume (2) Intermolecular attractions
(3) Volume occupied by the molecules (4) Intermolecular repulsions
2. ‘a’ and ‘b’ are vander Waals’ constants for gases. Chlorine is more easily liquefied than ethane
because: [AIEEE-2011, 4/120]
(1) a and b for Cl2 > a and b for C2H6
(2) a and b for Cl2 < a and b for C2H6
(3) a and Cl2 < a for C2H6 but b for Cl2 > b for C2H6
(4) a for Cl2 > a for C2H6 but b for Cl2 < b for C2H6

B-1. Significance of constant ‘b’. The constant ‘b’ is called co-volume or excluded volume per mole of a
gas. Its units are litre mol–1. The volume of ‘b’ is four times the actual volume of the molecules.
Significance of constant ‘a’. The value of constant ‘a’ gives the idea of magnitude of attractive forces
between the molecules of the gas. Its units are atm L2 mol–2. Larger the value of a, larger will be the
intermolecular attraction among the gas molecules.
