Question

3. Why do gases deviate from the ideal gas law at high pressures? A. Molecules have finite volume. B. Cohesive forces increase the volume from the ideal. C. Increasing pressure increases the temperature of the gas. D. Collisions between molecules occur more frequently as pressure increases.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Molecules have finite volume.

Explanation:

Gases deviate from the ideal gas law at high pressures because its molecules have a finite volume.

Real gases have a finite volume which enables more interaction between the molecules while ideal gases are assumed not to have a finite volume or occupy space which is why it lacks any form of interaction between its molecules.

This difference is the deviation between the real and ideal gases.
