Answer to Question #333115 in General Chemistry for lucidkid

Question

 A real gas behaves most like an ideal gas under the following conditions:

Answer 1

1. At Low Pressures:

– Gas particles are widely spaced apart and thus they have negligible size (and volume)

– Intermolecular forces of attraction between gas particles are virtually zero

2. At High Temperature:

– Negligible intermolecular attractions since the gas particles have sufficient kinetic energy to overcome it.
