Correct answer: A. Less than

  • A. Less than
  • B. Same as
  • C. More than
  • D. Half

Explanation

Near the critical temperature, attractive intermolecular forces make a real gas more compressible than an ideal gas, so its volume at the same conditions is generally less than the ideal-gas volume.
