Under which conditions does a real gas deviate most from ideal behavior?
A.High pressure and low temperature
B.Low pressure and high temperature
C.High pressure and high temperature
D.Low pressure and low temperature
Explanation
Core Concept
High pressure squeezes particles until their own volume matters, and low temperature slows them so attractions pull them together. Both violate KMT's assumptions of point masses and zero attraction.
Correct Answer
AHigh pressure and low temperature
