Question
Consider an ideal gas contained in a vessel. If the intermolecular interactions suddenly begin to act, which of the following happen?(a) the pressure decreases(b) the pressure increases(c) the pressure remains unchanged(d) the gas collapses
Step 1
In an ideal gas, the intermolecular interactions are assumed to be negligible. This means that the molecules of the gas do not attract or repel each other. Show more…

Consider a real gas placed in a container. If the intermolecular attractions are supposed to disappear suddenly which of the following would happen? (a) The pressure decreases (b) The pressure increases (c) The pressure remains unchanged (d) The gas collapses
When an ideal gas is allowed to expand into another evacuated vessel through a tiny hole, then a. The temperature of the gas remains constant b. The temperature of the gas is decreased c. There is no intermolecular force of attraction between an ideal gas d. Energy is absorbed from the surroundings
Under which of the following conditions would the gases in the container most deviate from ideal conditions and why? (A) Low pressures, because the gas molecules would be spread far apart (B) High pressures, because the gas molecules will be colliding (C) Low temperatures, because the intermolecular forces between the gas molecules would increase (D) High temperatures, because the gas molecules are moving too fast to interact with each other
