Chemistry Question on States of matter
The temperature ar which a real gas obeys the ideal gas laws over a wide range of pressure is
A
critical temperature
B
Boyle temperature
C
inversion temperature
D
reduced temperature
Answer
Boyle temperature
Explanation
Solution
It is the Boyle temperature TB. At Boyle temperature, the first virial coefficient (B) vanishes and real gas approaches ideal behaviour.
TB=Rba
Here, a and bare van der Waals' constants.
