Question

Which of the following statements is false ?

A

for one mole of any gas behaving ideally, the ratio PV/RT = 1.0

B

the van der Waals equation adjusts the volume down to account for interparticular repulsion between gas particles at very high pressures and/or very low temperatures

C

increasing the pressure of an ideal gas decreases its average kinetic energy and collision frequency

D

the van der Waals equation adjusts the pressure up to account for interparticular attraction between gas particles at high pressures and/or low temperatures

E

the average kinetic energy of any sample of gas is the same at the same temperature
