Question

Under which of the following sets of conditions will a sample of a real gas deviate most from ideal behavior? a. strong interparticle attractions, low temperature, high pressure b. strong interparticle attractions, high temperature, high pressure c. weak interparticle attractions, low temperature, high pressure d. weak interparticle attractions, high temperature, high pressure e. strong interparticle attractions, low temperature, low pressure

Answer 1

A real gas deviates most from ideal behavior under the conditions of strong interparticle attractions, low temperature, and high pressure.

Step-by-step explanation:

A real gas deviates most from ideal behavior under the following set of conditions: strong interparticle attractions, low temperature, high pressure.

When a real gas has strong interparticle attractions, the gas particles are more likely to stick together and deviate from ideal behavior. Low temperature also contributes to the deviation as it slows down the gas particles and makes the attractive forces between them more prominent. High pressure further increases the deviation due to the decrease in empty space between the particles.

In summary, a real gas deviates most from ideal behavior when it has strong interparticle attractions, low temperature, and high pressure.

Answer 2

a. strong interparticle attractions, low temperature, high pressure.

Step-by-step explanation:

A gas behaves as an ideal gas when it fulfills the following conditions:

• The interparticle attractions are neglectable.
• The volume of the gas is neglectable in comparison with the volume of the container.

The gas deviates from the ideal behavior:

• When there are strong interparticle attractions.
• At low temperatures and high pressures, the particles are closer to each other and interparticle attractions are stronger.
