Question

Asmi and Susmi have taken two containers of same volume attached with two narrow tubes containing small amounts of coloured liquid as shown in the given figures. One container is filled with ideal gas and the other one is filled with real gas. If the number of moles of gases present in two containers are same and their temperatures are also same, identify the container which contains ideal gas.

Solution

The correct option is B (ii)
Ideal gas has no definite volume while real gas has definite volume because in case of ideal gas there is no attractive force between the molecules of ideal gas. So Its volume can be bigger than the real gas.
we can see the second container has bigger volume than first, so second container has ideal gas.

According to Avogadro's Law, "Equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules". But how is this statement correct? How do we know that equal number of molecules are present in two gases taken in equal volumes?

Even if we consider equal volumes of any two gases(let's consider two gases for example) contain equal number of molecules, if we have the two gases in two containers of same volumes, we can add more gas to any one container and increase the density of the gas inside the container. In that case, the volume of the gas remains equal to the volume of the container but the number of gas molecules inside the container has increased and there is no chage to the number of molecules of the other gas we took inside a similar container. So now we have equal volumes of two gases but we have increased the number of molecules of one gas so now how can we say that the equal volumes of these two gases contain equal number of molecules?

If we take equal number of molecules of two gases and contain one of the gas in a container of some volume and the other gas in a container of a different volume, we will have unequal volumes of two gases having equal number of particles.

So how is Avogadro's Law explained?
