@dtan5457 @matt101 this i don't know A maybe help

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Not sure how to explain it, just read the kinetic molecular theory. Gasses are closest to ideal at high temps and low pressures. "The work which is against intermolecular forces becomes less significant compared with the particles' kinetic energy, and the size of the molecules becomes less significant compared to the empty space between them."

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Basically that is saying high temp and low pressures, have the molecules at far distances.. ideal gases have no attraction in between molecules, so...

B is answer then dtan?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

the further apart the molecules the less attraction, which is what is ideal

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

no not normal temperatures

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

read what i wrote again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i don't know dtan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C maybe

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

uhh i gave you the answer in what i wrote lol

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

its literally there word by word
