Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.57 Real Gases and Ideal Gas Assumptions skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A high-pressure gas mixture contains mostly He with a small amount of SO2. Precision measurements deviate more than predicted for pure He. Which explanation is best?

AAdding SO2 removes all collisions between helium atoms.

BHelium becomes polar only when SO2 is absent.

CAny mixture must be perfectly ideal regardless of composition.

DSO2 molecules add stronger attractions and larger particle-volume effects to the mixture.

Solution & Explanation:SO2 is larger and more polarizable than He, so even a small amount can increase nonideal interactions in precise measurements.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A real gas and an ideal gas have the same n, V, and T. The real gas has strong attractions and moderate pressure. Which graph of particle motion would best explain a lower measured pressure?

AParticles travel in perfectly straight paths with no forces and hit walls identically to ideal particles.

BParticles remain fixed in a crystal lattice and never reach the walls.

CParticles curve inward toward neighbors before wall collisions, reducing wall impact.

DParticles are drawn only outward toward the wall by attractions.

Solution & Explanation:Attractions between particles pull them inward, so wall collisions transfer less momentum than the ideal model predicts.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A polar gas at 700 K and 0.2 atm behaves nearly ideally. Which explanation best reconciles polarity with near-ideal behavior?

APolarity disappears permanently above 500 K.

BHigh temperature and low pressure can make attractions too infrequent and weak to strongly affect measurements.

CLow pressure makes particles larger, eliminating attractions.

DPolar gases can never behave approximately ideally.

Solution & Explanation:Even polar gases can approximate ideal behavior when particles are far apart and moving fast enough that attractions have little net effect.
