Question

When does a gas behave most like an ideal gas?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The ideal gas law assumes the gas particles are non-interacting and small relative to the size of their container. At high temperatures the gas molecules are moving fast enough to shorten the time scale for any interactions. At high volumes, the molecular size becomes small relative to the size of the container, and the low interactions mean the molecules act more independently.
