Vedclass · Answer

(B) At high pressure,the volume $V$ is very small. The term $\frac{a}{V^2}$ becomes large,but compared to high pressure $P$,it can be neglected. Thus,the van der Waals equation modifies as follows: $P(V - b) = RT$ $PV = RT + Pb$ $\frac{PV}{RT} = 1 + \frac{Pb}{RT}$ $Z = 1 + \frac{Pb}{RT}$ Since $Z > 1$,the compressibility factor is greater than one and it decreases as the temperature increases.
