<span>Which of the following gases would be most likely to experience ideal behavior at high pressures?
a. F2
b. Ne
c. C2H6
Yes. The answer is (b) Ne (Neon). This is because monoatomic gases such as neon do not experience </span><span>intermolecular attractions and thus most likely to be close to ideal gases behavior. Not only that, Neon is a noble gas and is unreactive. </span>
The theory about global warming will be most strongly affected by scientific studies that reveal how the earth’s temperature has fluctuated in the past. The answer is letter C. According to NASA, carbon dioxide levels have increase to
nearly 38 percent as of 2009 due to the burning of fossil fuels, cutting down
carbon-absorbing forests.

Explanation and answer:
The molar volume of a gas is 22.4 L at 0 deg. C.
So the molar mass of the gas is, by proportion,
0.16 g * (22400 mL)/(240 mL) = 14.93 g
The molar mass of (CH4)n = 12+4(1) = 16.
So n = 15.93/16 = 1, or the molecular formula is CH4.
Note: The temperature at which the volume was observed was not given. If 240 cm^3 was observed at 20 deg.C, then the volume at 0 deg.C would be
V=240*(273+0)/(273+20) = 223.6
The molar mass = 0.16*22400/(223.6) = 16.03
which gives n = 16/16.03 = 1 again, but more accurately.
