Question
Why do real gases deviate from ideal gases in their behaviour?

Answer

According to the theory of molecular motion of gases, on reducing the temperature and increasing the pressure, the deviation from the ideal behavior of real gases increases. Because when the pressure of a gas increased its molecules come closes and their volume decreases, due to which the compressibility of the gas decreases and it shows deviation for ideal behavior the diffusivity of a gas is represent by its compressibility coefficient Z.
that is $
Z=\frac{PV}{RT}

 A copper calorimeter of mass 100 g contains a lump of ice at $4^{\circ} C$. When 520 calories of heat are given to the calorimeter and its contents, the temperature rises from $-4^{\circ} C$ to $-2^{\circ} C$. The addition of another 41540 calories of heat brings the temperature of the calorimeter and its contents to $2^{\circ} C$. Determine the specific heat capacity of copper and the mass of ice present in the calorimeter. Given: Latent heat of fusion of ice $=80 cal / g ^{-1}$ Specific heat capacity of ice $=0.5 cal / g ^{-1}\left({ }^{\circ} C \right)^{-1}$
