Differences between an Ideal gas and a perfect gas?

In summary, an ideal gas is a theoretical concept that follows the PV=nRuT or PV = mRuT equation under predetermined conditions, including a constant temperature that affects its specific heat capacity. On the other hand, a perfect gas also follows the same equation, but its specific heat capacity remains constant regardless of temperature changes. Both types of gas also adhere to all gas laws.

Is this right for difference between idea gas and perfect gas. trying to get it into head but can't find simple explation.Idea gas
it is a fictious matter that follows the PV=nRuT or PV = mRuT equation, which has predermined conditions of ideal conditions of the the gas. As temperature for the equation is predetermined, specific heat capcity will be change with the temperature change . also It follows all gas laws.

whereas Perfect gas follows the PV=nRuT equation follows the PV=nRuT or PV = mRuT equation, which has predermined conditions of ideal conditions of the the gas, y is independent to the temperature and remains constant. So as temperature for the equation changes, specific heat capcity will be change will remain the same. also It follows all gas laws.

Related to Differences between an Ideal gas and a perfect gas?

What is an ideal gas?

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that follows the ideal gas law, which describes the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature. It assumes that the gas particles have no volume and do not interact with each other, making it easier to calculate their behavior.

What is a perfect gas?

A perfect gas is a real gas that closely follows the behavior of an ideal gas at low pressures and high temperatures. It takes into account the volume of the gas particles and their interactions, but these effects are negligible under ideal conditions.

What are the main differences between an ideal gas and a perfect gas?

The main differences between an ideal gas and a perfect gas are that ideal gases have no volume and do not interact with each other, while perfect gases take into account these factors. Additionally, ideal gases follow the ideal gas law exactly, while perfect gases deviate slightly from this law at high pressures and low temperatures.

What are some examples of ideal gases?

Some examples of ideal gases include non-polar gases such as helium, neon, and argon, as well as diatomic gases such as hydrogen and nitrogen at high temperatures.

How do ideal gases and perfect gases differ in terms of their behavior?

Ideal gases behave according to the ideal gas law, which states that the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature and inversely proportional to its volume. On the other hand, perfect gases follow this law at low pressures and high temperatures, but deviate from it at high pressures and low temperatures due to the effects of gas particle volume and interactions.
