Question

Which of the following correctly describes why the behavior of a real gas deviates from an ideal behavior?

At high pressures the volume of gas particles becomes important, and at low temperatures the effect of intermolecular forces becomes significant. At low pressures the volume of gas particles becomes important, and at high temperatures the effect of intermolecular forces becomes significant. At high pressures the volume of gas particles becomes important, and at high temperatures the effect of intermolecular forces becomes significant. At low pressures the volume of gas particles becomes important, and at low temperatures the effect of intermolecular forces becomes significant.

Explanation / Answer

Choose first : high pressures, since this is when molecules start to collide with each other:

Now, we need to discuss temperature

If T is low, then the interactions between each other are higher

therefore

avoid low T

the answer must be

At high pressures the volume of gas particles becomes important, and at low temperatures the effect of intermolecular forces becomes significant.
