    By extrapolating the ideal gas law, the internationally agreed-upon value for absolute zero has been determined as −273.15 °C (−459.67 °F; 0.00 K). absorbance absorption 1. The physical or chemical process by which a substance in one state becomes incorporated into and retained by another substance of a different state.

  3. Fugacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugacity

    For an ideal gas, fugacity and pressure are equal, and so φ = 1. Taken at the same temperature and pressure, the difference between the molar Gibbs free energies of a real gas and the corresponding ideal gas is equal to RT ln φ. The fugacity is closely related to the thermodynamic activity. For a gas, the activity is simply the fugacity ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_laws

    The laws describing the behaviour of gases under fixed pressure, volume, amount of gas, and absolute temperature conditions are called gas laws.The basic gas laws were discovered by the end of the 18th century when scientists found out that relationships between pressure, volume and temperature of a sample of gas could be obtained which would hold to approximation for all gases.

  5. Compressibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility

    In the case of an ideal gas, the compressibility factor Z is equal to unity, and the familiar ideal gas law is recovered: p = R T V m {\displaystyle p={\frac {RT}{V_{m}}}} Z can, in general, be either greater or less than unity for a real gas.

  6. Real gas - Wikipedia

    Critical isotherm for Redlich-Kwong model in comparison to van-der-Waals model and ideal gas (with V 0 =RT c /p c) The Redlich–Kwong equation is another two-parameter equation that is used to model real gases. It is almost always more accurate than the van der Waals equation, and often more accurate than some equations with more than two ...

  7. Compressibility factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility_factor

    This increases the attractive interactions between molecules, pulling the molecules closer together and causing the volume to be less than for an ideal gas at the same temperature and pressure. Higher temperature reduces the effect of the attractive interactions and the gas behaves in a more nearly ideal manner.

  8. Ideal gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas

    At high pressures, the volume of a real gas is often considerably larger than that of an ideal gas. At low temperatures, the pressure of a real gas is often considerably less than that of an ideal gas. At some point of low temperature and high pressure, real gases undergo a phase transition, such as to a liquid or a solid. The model of an ideal ...

    Isotherms of an ideal gas for different temperatures. The curved lines are rectangular hyperbolae of the form y = a/x. They represent the relationship between pressure (on the vertical axis) and volume (on the horizontal axis) for an ideal gas at different temperatures: lines that are farther away from the origin (that is, lines that are nearer to the top right-hand corner of the diagram ...
