P-v-T Relations for Vapors (Gases)
Consider a fixed amount (# of moles) of gas in a pistoncylinder assembly held at constant temperature, say T1.
Move piston slowly to various positions, measure system
pressure P and volume (via height h) at each equilibrium

Since Pv is a finite number, as P  0, v  
As v (volume/#moles) approaches infinity continuum
assumption fails have to extrapolate experimental data to
P= 0

Extrapolated data
It is found that when the data is extrapolated to P= 0 you
get a limiting value for Pv / T :

Repeat experiments using different gases and get the same
shape curves.
If we plot Z versus the reduced pressure PR (=P/Pc) for
different reduced temperatures TR (=T/Tc) you get a
universal set of curves known as the generalized
compressibility chart
Molar mass and critical properties are given in Table A-1,
for example:
Tc(air)= 133K
Pc(air)= 37.7 bar
Tc(water)= 647.3K
Pc(water)= 220.9 bar

For a given gas with a gas constant R= R /  , knowing the
pressure and temperature you can use the above graph to
v
get the specific volume v 

Z 1 (within 5%) for low reduced pressure (PR < 0.2)
independent of temperature, e.g. Pair < 7.6 bar
Z 1 (within 5%) for high reduced temperatures (TR > 2)
independent of pressure, e.g. for air Tair > 266K (-7C)
58
In most engineering applications we deal with gases at
conditions that are within these limits, so Z1
A gas for which Z can be assumed equal to one is called a
perfect gas, or an ideal gas

For an ideal gas Z 

Pv  R T
and
since v  V/M
so

and

PV  nR T and
n  # moles
PV  MRT
Microscopic Point of View
Molecules have KE associated with motion and PE
associated with mutual attraction/repulsion. An ideal gas
is one where the PE is negligible, e.g., billiard ball model.
At low pressure molecules are far apart so negligible PE
At high temp KE >> PE
