Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deviations from the ideal gas law are greater at low temperatures and high pressures. This is because at high pressures, the volume of gas molecules becomes significant, and at low temperatures, the kinetic energy of the gas molecules decreases, making them more likely to stick together and form intermolecular forces. This causes the gas to deviate from ideal behavior.
