Why would a scientist have difficulty observing the behavior of an ideal gas?
Because an ideal gas is theoretical, and hence not real.
Because all ideal gases are invisible.
Because an ideal gas is made of molecules that cant be seen
Because an ideal gas cannot be compressed.
Why can't all of the gas particles in a container have very high or very low speeds?
Because as particles collide, a gain in kinetic energy other
Because there is not enough pressure inside
Because there is not enough pressure inside of a closed cont
Because as particles collide they both increase their energy
