MCQ
A real gas behaves like an ideal gas if its
  • A
    pressure and temperature are both high
  • B
    pressure and temperature are both low
  • C
    pressure is high and temperature is low
  • pressure is low and temperature is high

Answer

Correct option: D.
pressure is low and temperature is high
d
Real gas obeys vanderwaals equation

$\left( p +\frac{ n ^2 a }{ V ^2}\right)( V - nb )= nRT$

at high temperature and low pressure

Van der waal equation becomes approximately $PV$ $= nRT$

Hence gases behave ideally at high temperature and low pressure.
