C) low temperature and high pressure
D) high temperature and high pressure

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At high temperatures, the kinetic energy of gas molecules increases, causing them to move faster and farther apart, which means they experience weaker intermolecular forces. At low pressures, gas molecules are also farther apart and experience weaker intermolecular forces. These conditions allow real gases to approximate the behavior of an ideal gas.
