AExtremely high pressures
BAbsolute zero exactly
CModerate temperatures
DExtremely low temperatures
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Moderate temperatures
1. Every model has a range where its assumptions hold.
2. The ideal gas law relates gas quantities for gases.
3. It is quite accurate for low pressures and moderate temperatures.
4. Real gases depart from it when molecules are pushed close together or slowed right down.
