Q83

Under which condition real gas can work as an ideal gas?

A.
High pressure and low temperature
B.
Low pressure and high temperature
Answer
C.
High pressure and high temperature
D.
Low pressure and low temperature

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Real gases behave like ideal gases when the intermolecular forces become negligible.

At low pressure, gas molecules are far apart, reducing intermolecular attractions.

At high temperature, molecules move rapidly, so the effect of intermolecular forces becomes very small.

Therefore, under low pressure and high temperature, a real gas shows ideal gas behavior.
