Question

A real gas behaves least like an ideal gas under the conditions of

(1) low temperature and low pressure
(2) low temperature and high pressure
(3) high temperature and low pressure
(4) high temperature and high pressure

Answer 1

The correct answer is option 3. A real gas behaves least like an ideal gas under the conditions of high temperature and low pressure. At this temperature and pressure, the molecules are close to each other and collisions or interactions are very likely to happen which is not an ideal gas.
