Behaviour of Real Gases

The video explains the differences between ideal and real gases, highlighting how real gases deviate from ideal behavior under certain conditions. It introduces the concept of compressibility factor Z and explains how it measures deviations from ideal gas behavior. The video also covers the van der Waals equation, which accounts for intermolecular forces and the volume occupied by gas molecules, providing a more accurate description of real gas behavior.
