The equation, PV = nRT, is best obeyed by gases at____________________?

Correct answer: A. Low pressure & high temperature

  • A. Low pressure & high temperature
  • B. High pressure & low temperature
  • C. Low pressure & low temperature
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Real gases approach ideal-gas behaviour when intermolecular forces and molecular volume become negligible, which occurs at low pressure and high temperature. High pressure and low temperature promote non-ideal behaviour.
