Properties of Gas Mixtures: Ideal and Real Gases
Dr Kidd Engineering・8 minutes read
Ideal gas mixtures are simpler to work with and rely on temperature alone, while real gas mixtures involve more complex calculations considering interactions between molecules for accurate results. It is crucial to break down equations based on mass and moles when calculating properties for gas mixtures, ensuring all components are considered unless one is negligible.
Insights
- Ideal gases are easier to work with than real gases due to simpler equations and the assumption that properties are independent of other gases, only relying on temperature.
- Real gas mixtures present complexities in calculations as interactions between molecules affect properties, necessitating detailed analyses and sometimes experimental data for accurate results.

Gas Mixtures: Ideal vs Real Gases Explained
- Gas mixtures can be categorized into ideal and real gases, with ideal gases being simpler to work with compared to real gases due to the presence of numerous equations.
- The total internal energy, enthalpy, entropy, and changes in a gas mixture are determined by the mass of each component multiplied by their respective internal energy, enthalpy, and entropy values.
- When calculating properties for gas mixtures, it is essential to break down the equations based on mass and moles, ensuring accurate results by considering all components unless one is negligible.
- Ideal gas mixtures operate under the assumption that gas properties are unaffected by the presence of other gases, solely depending on temperature and not influenced by pressure or volume.
- Real gas mixtures pose challenges due to the interactions between dissimilar molecules, requiring complex calculations to determine properties like pressure changes, often involving experimental data for accuracy.
