Ideal gas behavior condition is high temperature and low pressure, right? so is the book's answer to 10(a) ii wrong?

thanks :D i wasn't sure about it
 

1. What is an ideal gas?

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that follows the kinetic theory of gases. It is a hypothetical gas that obeys the gas laws at all conditions of temperature and pressure.

2. What are the conditions for ideal gas behavior?

The conditions for ideal gas behavior include low pressure, high temperature, and negligible intermolecular forces between gas particles. These conditions allow the gas particles to move freely and independently, leading to ideal gas behavior.

3. How does temperature affect ideal gas behavior?

As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of gas particles also increases, causing them to move faster and collide with each other more frequently. This results in an increase in pressure, and at high enough temperatures, ideal gas behavior is observed.

4. Why do real gases deviate from ideal gas behavior?

Real gases deviate from ideal gas behavior because they have finite volumes and experience intermolecular forces, such as attraction or repulsion between particles. These factors cause the gas particles to deviate from the assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases, leading to deviations from ideal gas behavior.

5. How is ideal gas behavior useful in scientific research?

Ideal gas behavior is a useful concept in scientific research because it simplifies the behavior of gases and allows for easier calculations and predictions. It also serves as a baseline for comparison with real gases, helping scientists understand the deviations and properties of different gases under varying conditions.
