l The properties of gases p12 Dus E110) Anewere to disoussion questions ‘The partial pressure of a gasin a mixture af gases is the pressure the gas would exert if if ocen alone the same container as the mixture at the same temperature. Dalton’s law is a limiting law because it holds exactly only under conditions where the gases have no effect on each other. This can only be true in the limit of zero pressure where the molecules of the gas are very far apart Hence, Dalton’s law holds cxactly only for a mixture of perfect gases; for real gases, the law is only an approximation. ‘The critical constants represent the state of a system at which the distinction between the liquid and vapour phases disappears. We usually describe tis situation by saying that above the critical temperature the liquid phase cannot be produced by the application of pressure alone. The liquid and vapour phases can no longer cosa, although supercritical fluids have both iquid and vapour characteristics ‘The van der Waals equation is a cubie equation in the volume, V: Every cubic equation has some values of the coefficients for which the number of real roots passes from three to one. In fact, any equation of state of odd degree m > I can in principle account for critical behaviour because for equations of odd degree in V there are necessarily some values of temperature and pressure for ‘which the number of real 1ovts of ¥ passes fiom 1 to 1. That is the multiple values uf F converge from m to 1 as the temperature approaches the critical temperature. This mathematical result is consistent with passing from a two-phase region (more than one volume for a given T and p) to a ‘one-phase region (only one ¥fora given Tand p), aud this cossesponi to the ubserved experimental result as the critical point is reached. Solutions to exercises (a) The perfect gas aw (1.8) is pV=nRT implying thatthe pressure would be RT.
