Title: Ideal Gas Law and Kinetic molecular theory?
Post by: Purplepiscean on December 17, 2012, 10:46:58 PM

Can someone please tell me which is more ideal for a gas and it's intermolecular reactions relative to the ideal gas law and the critical temperature of a gas?

Which of the pair listed follows the ideal gas law more closely?
A gas with a critical temperature of 100 K or one with a critical temperature of 300 K?

Thank you so much in advance.. any help is greatly appreciated..I would LOVE an explanation as to why...

What happens at T_c?

What key assumption is behind an ideal gas?
