Urgent! - chem report due next period

[Apink!]

Just a quick question-

would you expect hydrogen to exhibit close to ideal behaviour? Explain

Thanks!

I'd have thought that it would depend on the conditions?

From a chem website:

The behavior of real gases usually agrees with the predictions of the ideal gas equation to within 5% at normal temperatures and pressures. At low temperatures or high pressures, real gases deviate significantly from ideal gas behavior.

Some facts:
-hydrogen is a real gas
-Real gasses are those that deviate from ideality
-The behaviour of all gases approach ideality as they increase in temp. and decrease in pressure.
So, perhaps you could say 'hydrogen gas would exhibit increasingly ideal qualities as its temperature increases and its pressure decreases"?

I have no idea what you mean by ideal. And hydrogen what?

If it is about ideal gasses like Doc has guessed, at least as far as VCE is concerned, it depends on the conditions.
