I want to clarify the differences between real and ideal gasses. Any help is appreciated.
I understand that real gases, b/c they take up volume, have a greater volume than ideal gases. I also understand that real gases, b/c they have attactive forces, these intermolecular forces reduce their pressure, so they have less pressure than ideal gases.
But it's also true that real gases deviate from ideal gases under LOW temperature and HIGH pressure conditions. This seems to conflict with the above.
How is this resolved?
Thanks!
