For real gases, PV nRT.

Question

For real gases, PV > nRT.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ideal gas law, PV = nRT, assumes that gases behave ideally, meaning that they have negligible volume and no intermolecular forces. However, real gases deviate from this ideal behavior at high pressures and/or low temperatures. At these conditions, the volume of the gas becomes significant and intermolecular forces come into play, causing the actual pressure to be lower than what would be predicted by the ideal gas law. Therefore, for real gases, PV < nRT.
