Question

a gas is held at a very high temperature and very low pressure. under these conditions, the behavior of the gas will be: dependent only on the identity of the gas. significantly different from an ideal gas. very close to that of an ideal gas. impossible to predict. which of the following changes would cause a real gas to behave more like an ideal gas? increasing the strength of intermolecular forces. increasing the volume of the container. increasing the pressure. decreasing the temperature.

Explanation:

1. For the first question, at high - temperature and low - pressure, the distance between gas molecules is large, and intermolecular forces are negligible. So the gas behaves very close to an ideal gas.
2. For the second question, an ideal gas has no intermolecular forces and the volume of gas molecules is negligible. Increasing the volume of the container reduces the effect of intermolecular forces and the relative volume of gas molecules, making the real gas behave more like an ideal gas.

Answer:

1. C. Very close to that of an ideal gas.
2. B. Increasing the volume of the container.
