The temperature at which a real gas obeys the ideal gas laws over a wide range of pressure is called the ____________ temperature?

Correct answer: B. Boyle

  • A. Critical
  • B. Boyle
  • C. Inversion
  • D. Reduced

Explanation

The Boyle temperature is the temperature at which the attractive and repulsive intermolecular effects nearly cancel, so a real gas follows ideal-gas behaviour over a broad pressure range. Critical temperature concerns phase change, while inversion temperature concerns the Joule-Thomson effect.
