At low temperatures and high pressures ethene gas C2H4(g), does not behave like an ideal gas. Use chemical principles to explain why this is?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The particles of an ideal gas have no volume and no attractions for each other.  In a real gas, however, the molecules do have a measurable volume. The molecules of real cases have intermolecular attractions for each other.

An ideal gas behaves like a real gas under the conditions of low temperature and high pressure.

This is because at low temperature and high pressure molecules of gas will have negligible kinetic energy and strong force of attraction.

Thus ethene gas does not behave like an ideal gas at low temperatures and high pressures.
