IntermediateMCQGraphicalConceptual19.2k
A sample containing \(1.00 \text{ mol}\) of \(\text{N}_2\text{(g)}\) is held in a container at a constant temperature of \(273 \text{ K}\). A student measures the pressure and volume of the gas sample across four different trials and calculates the ratio \(\dfrac{PV}{nRT}\), as summarized in the table below.

TrialPressure (\(\text{atm}\))\(\dfrac{PV}{nRT}\)
1\(1.0\)\(1.00\)
2\(100\)\(0.87\)
3\(300\)\(1.00\)
4\(800\)\(1.52\)

Based on the data in the table, which of the following best explains why \(\dfrac{PV}{nRT} > 1.00\) in trial 4?
