A real gas will behave most like an ideal gas under conditions of ________.

KengaRu [80]

Answer: high temperature and low pressure

Explanation:

The Ideal Gas equation is:

$P.V=n.R.T$

Where:

$P$ is the pressure of the gas

$V$ is the volume of the gas

$n$ the number of moles of gas

$R=0.0821\frac{L.atm}{mol.K}$ is the gas constant

$T$ is the absolute temperature of the gas in Kelvin

According to this law, molecules in gaseous state do not exert any force among them (attraction or repulsion) and the volume of these molecules is small, therefore negligible in comparison with the volume of the container that contains them.

Now, real gases can behave approximately to an ideal gas, under the conditions described above and taking into account the following:

When <u>temperature is high</u> a real gas approximates to ideal gas, because the molecules move quickly, preventing the repulsion or attraction forces to take effect. In addition, at <u>low pressures</u>, the volume of molecules is negligible.

If you're driving towards the sun late in the afternoon, you can reduce the glare from the road by wearing sunglasses that permi

AveGali [126]

Correct answer choice is:

C. Polarized in a vertical plane.

Explanation:

Polarized sunglasses give excellent glare shield, particularly on the water. Polarized lenses include a specific filter that prevents this type of strong reflected light, diminishing glare.

This is because when you angle one polarized lens to different perpendicularly, they prevent glare both horizontally and vertically. The polarized lenses are enduringly tinted sunglasses that exceedingly decrease glare.

A 6.0 m section of wire carries a current of 5.2 A from east to west in the earth's magnetic field of 1.0 × 105 T at a location

NNADVOKAT [17]

Well, since you only want direction, ignore the numbers. Use the right hand rule.
Current (pointer finger) points west (left).
Magnetic field (middle finger) points south (towards you).
Force (thumb) then points up (away from the earth)
