At constant temperature, the behavior of a sample of a real gas more closely approximates that of an ideal gas as its volume is increased because the:_________
(A) Collisions with the walls of the container become less frequent
(B) Average molecular speed decreases
(C) Molecules have expanded
(D) Average distance between molecules becomes greater
(E) Average molecular kinetic energy decreases

Respuesta :

Answer: D

Explanation:

The molecular theory of gases states that there are no intermolecular forces between gases. Gas molecules are separated from each other such that individual molecules are far apart from each other. When volume is increased, gas molecules spread out from each other and the distance between them increases thus approximating the situation in ideal gases.
