A gas such as carbon monoxide would be most likely to obey the ideal gas law at:
Options
- AHigh temperatures and low pressures
- BLow temperatures and high pressures
- CHigh temperatures and high pressures
- DLow temperatures and low pressures
Correct answer
A. High temperatures and low pressures
Step-by-step solution
Real gases show ideal gas behaviour at high temperatures and low pressures. This is because at high temperatures and due to low pressure, the molecules will move with a very high speed and the distance between them will be very large and thus the force of attraction between them will be negligible.
