Answer 3

I know at stp the most ideal would be O2 and the C2H4 but I'm not for sure when pressure is high

Answer 4

Would the answer be D. C?

Answer 5

Have you studies van der waals equation and constants?

Answer 6

Yeah a little bit.

Answer 7

Do you see a trend in the constants of these substances?

Answer 8

Yes.

Answer 9

What trend do you see and what do you think it means?

Answer 10

The bonds are decreasing from A to B? So I think that D. C would have ideal behavior at high pressures.

Answer 11

What do you mean that the bonds are decreasing?

Answer 12

A has more bonds than B, C, and D.

Answer 13

That is true. Are you saying that oxygen gas will be most ideal at high pressures?

Answer 14

Well I think Ne would have ideal behavior at high pressures. Or O-O. Am I correct?

Answer 15

Yes, I get one of those. Do you have the van der waals constants for each?

Answer 16

No. But I think it's O-O, not Ne.

Why do you think it is O-O?

Answer 18

I think because it has one bond...

Answer 19

Why does that make it more ideal at high pressures do you think?

Answer 20

Maybe because the one bond makes it more stable and it's between O and O?

Answer 21

Hm, let's look at the constants for O2 and Ne and see if we can draw any conclusions.

Answer 22

What values of constants do you think would make the van der waals equation simplify down to the ideal gas law?

Answer 23

I'm not really sure...

Answer 24

If the an^2/V^2 term went to 0, what do you think would happen to van der waals?

Answer 25

I'm not sure. Can you please explain?

Answer 26

If that term went to zero, then van der waals would simplify to

Answer 27

Okay

Answer 28

And what if the nb term went to 0?
