Near their critical temperatures, all gases occupy volumes _____________ that of the ideal gas?
Correct answer: D. Less than
- A. Half
- B. Same as
- C. More than
- D. Less than
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.
