Problem
A gas at 300 K is compressed from 1.0 atm to 100 atm while the temperature is held constant. Which factor becomes the PRIMARY cause of deviation from ideal-gas behavior near 100 atm?
(a) Interparticle attractions that lower the measured pressure
(b) Interparticle attractions and finite molecular volume contribute equally
(c) Finite molecular volume that makes the measured pressure higher
(d) Neither factor is significant at 300 K
