Do you agree with the answer to question 25 from aamc 7 (physical sci section)??
The question is:
A gas that occupies 10 L at 1atm and 25 deg C will occupy what volume at 500 atm and 25 deg C?
a) exactly 0.020 L
b) somewhat more than 0.02 L because of the space occupied by the individual gas molecules
c) somewhat more than 0.02 L because of the repulstions between the individual gas molecules
d) somewhat more than 0.02 L because of the increased number of collisions with the sides of the container
The right answer is B.
But I don't understand why the volume would be MORE than 0.02 L if the gas molecules are experiencing intermolecular interactions with each other. Shouldn't these interactions at 500 atm (very high pressure) reduce the volume rather than increase it?!??! 😡 Deviations from ideal gas behavior normally results in decreased volume of the real gas compared to ideal volume! 😡
Can someone please explain this to me?
