Question

The derivation of the ideal-gas equation included the assumption that the number of molecules is very large, so that we could compute the average force due to many collisions. However, the ideal-gas equation holds accurately only at low pressures, where the molecules are few and far between. Is this inconsistent? Why or why not?

Short answer

No , it is not consistent

Because the ideal gas equation work at (high temperature and low pressure)and at high pressure it work but when the

Step-by-step solution

Determine the ideal gas Equation

Equation for Ideal Gas is

Determine the consistency of Ideal gas Eqaution at low pressure

No , it is not consistent

As we know the ideal gas equation work perfectly at low pressure and when the number of molecules increases thecollisionwill increase so at the high pressure you should give the gas more space and when it occurs , the volume of the real gas you have will be larger thantheideal gas and theidealgas equation will work well

Therefore the ideal gas equation work at (high temperature and low pressure)and at high pressure it work but when the
