Question

Can chlorine gas (Cl2) at 350 K and 6.5 MPa be considered an ideal gas?​

Answer 1

generally gases at hight temperature and low pressure behaves as

ideal gas. as at high temperature and low pressure the inter-atomic forces between the atoms becomes

negligible which can be considerd as ideal gas behaviour.

but here the temperature of chlorine is 350 K which is not high and the pressure is as much high as

6.5 MPa. also at this temperature an pressure the compressibility factor of chlorine is less than one.

so no, at this temperature an pressure, chlorine can not be considerd as ideal gas.
