A real gas behaves like an ideal gas if its

A

pressure and temperature are both high

B

pressure and temperature are both low

C

pressure is high and temperature is low

D

pressure is low and temperature is high

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
A gas behaves more like an ideal gas at higher temperature and lower pressure, as the potential energy due to intermolecular forces becomes less significant compound with the particles kinetic energy and the size of the molecules become less significant compound to the empty space between them.
