A real gas will behave most like an ideal gas under conditions of .
A) low temperature and low pressure
B) high temperature and high pressure
C) high temperature and low pressure
D) STP
E) low temperature and high pressure

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the temperature is high, the gas particles have more kinetic energy, which minimizes the intermolecular forces and allows the gas to behave more ideally. When the pressure is low, the gas particles are more spread out, which also minimizes intermolecular forces, further allowing for ideal gas behavior.
