Question

volume of the gas molecules becomes significant in comparison to the volume os the container at ....
a) high pressure and low temperature
b) low pressure and high temperature
c) high pressure and high temperature
d) low pressure and low temperature

Answer 1

Answer:

At low pressures, the gaseous molecules are relatively far apart, but as the pressure of the gas increases, the intermolecular distances become smaller and smaller (Figure 10.9. 3). As a result, the volume occupied by the molecules becomes significant compared with the volume of the container.
