Q

What kind of forces are present in real gases?

A

Non-negligible interaction forces (attractive or repulsive)

17
Q

What happens to kinetic and potential energy in gases when the temperature increases and the pressure decreases?

A

Potential energy decreases in favour of kinetic energy

18
Q

When does the behaviour of real gasses approach that of ideal gasses?

A

High temp, low pressure

19
Q

When are a liquid and a gas in equilibrium?

A

When gas pressure in the liquid equals the partial pressure of the gas
The number of molecules that enter the solution in the unit of time=number of molecule that evaporate
