Question

Identify the conditions of pressure and temperature at which a real gas shows maximum deviation from ideal behavior:

• A. $10atm,273K$
• B. $5atm,273K$
• C. $10atm,373K$
• D. $5atm,373K$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $10atm,273K$

A gas behaves more like an ideal gas at a higher temperature and lower pressure.

Thus, if a gas shows maximum deviation from ideal behaviour, then the pressure will be high and temperature will be lower.

Thus, the answer is $10atm$, $273K$ i.e. high pressure & low temperature.
