A gas such as carbon monoxide would be most likely to obey the ideal gas law at:

AHigh temperatures and high pressure
BLow temperatures and low pressure
CHigh temperature and low pressure
Correct Answer
DLow temperature and high pressure

Solution

A gas such as carbon monoxide would be most likely to obey the ideal gas law at high temperature and low pressure.
Under these conditions, the volume V is very large and the terms $$\displaystyle \frac {a}{V^2} $$ and $$\displaystyle b $$ can be neglected.

The van der Waal's equation reduces to ideal gas equation $$\displaystyle PV=nRT $$

Hence, option $$(C)$$ is correct.
