Chapter 6, Problem 6.111QE

For each of the following pairs of gases at the given conditions, predict which one would more closely follow the ideal gas law. Explain your choice.

1. (a) oxygen (boiling point = −183 °C) gas at −150 °C or at 30 °C, both measured at 1.0 atm
2. (b) nitrogen (boiling point = −196 °C) or xenon (boiling point = −107 °C) gas at −100 °C, both measured at 1.0 atm
3. (c) argon gas at 1 atm or at 50 atm of pressure, both measured at 25 °C
