← ScienceWhich error propagates when extrapolating the ideal gas law?
A)Van der Waals forces neglected✓
B)Bond dissociation is overestimated
C)Kinetic energy poorly approximates viscosity
D)Isothermal condition breaks down
💡 Explanation
Extrapolation introduces errors because the ideal gas law neglects intermolecular forces. Specifically Van der Waals forces are part of Wall's equation. Therefore, inaccurate results come from assuming interactions are negligible rather than other inaccuracies occuring
