Gases end If you want to refine or if you want to measure the performance of any gas that escapes from ideal behavior will have to resort to the equations of real gases are varied and more complicated the more accurate. Real gases do not expand infinitely, but there would come a time that would not occupy more volume. This is because between the atoms / molecules forces are set fairly small, random changes due to their electrostatic charges, which is called Van der Waals forces. The behavior of a gas generally agree more with the ideal behavior as simple as its chemical formula, the lower its reactivity, a tendency to form bonds. For example, noble gases to be monatomic and have very low reactivity, especially helium, will behave quite close to ideal. We follow the diatomic gases, particularly the lighter hydrogen.Triatomic will be less than ideal as carbon dioxide, the case of water vapor is even worse because the molecule tends to be polar hydrogen bonds to establish what further reduce the ideality. Within the organic gases that have more ideal behavior will be lost idealism methane thickens as the carbon chain. This butane is expected to have a behavior and quite far from the ideal. This is because the larger the main component of the gas particle, the greater the likelihood of collision and interaction between them, a factor that decreases the ideality. Some of these gases can be approximated quite well by ideals equations while in other cases you will need to use real equations often empirically deduced from the adjustment of parameters. Ideality is also lost in extreme conditions, high pressures or low temperatures. Moreover, the mote may increase if we work at low pressures or high temperatures.Also for their chemical stability.
