State
A real gas behaves most nearly ideally at low pressure and high temperature, where molecules sit far apart, moving too fast for attraction to matter.
Show
Helium at room temperature and atmospheric pressure has a compressibility factor extremely close to 1.
Watch for
Low pressure and high temperature are both required — a cold, low-pressure gas can still deviate if it is near condensing.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
