In which instance is a gas most likely to behave as an ideal gas? a.) at low temperatures, because the molecules are always far apartb.) when the molecules are highly polar, because imf are more likelyc.) at room temperature and pressure, because intermolecular interactions are minimized and the particles are relatively far apartd.) at high pressures, because the distance between molecules is likely to be small in relation to the size of the molecules

C.) At room temperature and pressure, because intermolecular interactions are minimized and the particles are relatively far apart.

Explanation:

For gas to behave as an ideal gas there are 2 basic assumptions:

In which instance is a gas most likely to behave as an ideal gas?

A.) At low temperatures, because the molecules are always far apart. FALSE. At low temperatures, molecules are closer and IMF are more appreciable.

B.) When the molecules are highly polar, because IMF are more likely. FALSE. When IMF are stronger the gas does not behave as an ideal gas.

C.) At room temperature and pressure, because intermolecular interactions are minimized and the particles are relatively far apart. TRUE.

D.) At high pressures, because the distance between molecules is likely to be small in relation to the size of the molecules. FALSE. At high pressures, the distance between molecules is small and IMF are strong.

the correct answer is:

a. formation of precipitation
