Expert Solution

Limiting ideal behaviour means close to ideal behaviour.

For example in reversible process , the process is so close to ideal that it can be reversed at any moment but cannot be reversed all the way to the starting.

But reversible process are very very slow , in fact they are that slow that we can consider that it may be reversible at any moment to few degrees.

so here the revesible expansion is not ideal but it is very close to ideal and can be called as limiting ideal.
