What error is introduced by assuming that the vapor obeys the ideal gas law?

Okay, what does the ideal gas law explicitly state?

What assumptions does it make that are simply not true?

What, if the ideal gas law were true, would be impossible, even though it does happen in the real world?

And under what conditions does the last one above happen?  That's the answer.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
