A real gas behaves as an ideal gas at

A real gas behaves as an ideal gas at
  1. low pressure and low temperature.
  2. low pressure and high temperature.
  3. high pressure and low temperature.
  4. high pressure and high temperature.

Solution

Generally, a gas behaves more like an ideal gas at higher temperature and lower pressure, as the potential energy due to intermolecular forces becomes less significant compared with the particle's kinetic energy, and the size of the molecules becomes less significant compared to the empty space between them.
Option 2 is correct
