Which of the following approaches the ideal gas behavior most closely ?

Correct answer: C. Superheated steam

  • A. Wet steam
  • B. Saturated steam
  • C. Superheated steam
  • D. Saturated water

Explanation

Superheated steam is at a temperature above its saturation temperature and contains less liquid-like character, so its properties approach those of an ideal gas. Wet and saturated steam still has significant intermolecular effects and, in the wet case, liquid droplets.
