When does a gas deviate the most from its ideal behavior?
Options
- AAt low pressure and high temperature
- BAt high pressure and high temperature
- CAt low pressure and low temperature
- DAt high pressure and low temperature
Correct answer
D. At high pressure and low temperature
Step-by-step solution
At high pressure & low temperature gas almost near liquefaction range with (i) - Intense intermolecular forces (ii) - Volume occupied by molecules is substantial due to low intermolecular distances.
