Complete the following: Because real gas particles have attraction for one another:
A)Real gases act most ideally at STP.
B)We assume gas particles have negligible (zero)volume.
C)One mole of an ideal gas at STP has a volume of 22.4 L.
D)Real gases act more ideally at higher temperatures and lower pressures.
E)At least two of the above statements (A-D)correctly complete the statement.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Real gases have attraction for one another, which causes them to deviate from ideal gas behavior, particularly at higher pressures and lower temperatures. Therefore, statement D correctly completes the sentence. The other statements are not necessarily true because real gases do not necessarily act most ideally at STP, and assuming gas particles have negligible volume is only a simplifying assumption used to derive the ideal gas law, but it is not necessarily true in reality. The statement about one mole of an ideal gas at STP having a volume of 22.4 L is true, but it does not directly relate to the effect of intermolecular attraction on real gases.
