Question

Which statement about real gases is true? A) Forces of attraction and repulsion exist between gas particles at close range. B) The volume of the gas particles is zero. C) The behavior of real gases can be exactly predicted using the ideal gas law. D) The mass of the gas particles is zero.

Answer 1

The correct statement about real gases is that forces of attraction and repulsion exist between gas particles at close range.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement about real gases is A) Forces of attraction and repulsion exist between gas particles at close range.

Real gases do have nonzero molecular volumes and experience attractive and repulsive forces between particles at close range. These forces become more significant at high pressures and low temperatures.
