Q117
The compressibility factor for an ideal gas is 1. Its value for any other real gas is
A.
1
B.
< 1
C.
> 1
D.
Either (b) or (c), depends on the nature of the gas
AnswerAnswer: Option D
Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
As the real gas can deviate positively or negatively from ideal behavior it can have(compressibility factor) > 1 → positive deviation.
< 1→ negative deviation.
