Question

Under what set of conditions does HCl(g) deviate the most from ideal behavior?a) high temperature and low pressure.b) low temperature and high pressure.c) high temperature and high pressure.d) low temperature and low pressure. e) standard temperatore and pressure.

Answer 1

b) low temperature and high pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

Deviation of gases from their ideal behavior could be as a result of two things which include a very small volume for the gases and the collisions not being elastic enough.

Small volume will decrease the frequency of elastic collisions a gas will experience as a result of the tiny space.

Low temperature will decrease the amount of elastic collisions and energy of the gas and high pressure will decrease the volume which is why there will be a deviation in the ideal behavior of Hcl(g)
