A real gas can act as an ideal gas in

A. High pressure and low temperature

B. Low pressure and high temperature

C. High pressure and high temperature

D. Low pressure and low temperature

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Real gases approximate ideal gases when their pressure is relatively low, and their temperature reasonably high. A real gas deviates increasingly from ideality as it is compressed and cooled to near the point at which it will condense into a liquid. Compressing forces the molecules closer together so that intermolecular forces become stronger, and cooling reduces the kinetic energy of the molecules, so that they are more easily held by these forces.
