The $P$ vs $V$ graph is plotted for $1$ $mole$ of a hypothetical gas. Based on the given isotherms at $200 \ K$ and $300 \ K$,determine the range of $\frac{a}{b}$ for this gas in $atm-L \ mole^{-1}$. [Given: $R = 0.08 \ atm-L \ mole^{-1} \ K^{-1}$]

  • A
    $54 < \frac{a}{b} < 81$
  • B
    $27 < \frac{a}{b} < 42$
  • C
    $40 < \frac{a}{b} < 65$
  • D
    $13.5 < \frac{a}{b} < 40.5$

The graph between $P$ and $V$ below the critical temperature is:

Statement $-1$: The compressibility factor at the critical point is the same for different gases following van der Waal's equation.
Statement $-2$: The compressibility factor is independent of pressure at the critical temperature.

At relatively high pressure,the van der Waals equation becomes?

For a real gas at $25^{\circ} C$ temperature and high pressure $(99 \ bar)$,the value of the compressibility factor is $2$. The value of the Van der Waals constant '$b$' is $\times 10^{-2} \ L \ mol^{-1}$. (Nearest integer) (Given $R = 0.083 \ L \ bar \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$)

Under which conditions does a real gas show maximum deviation from ideal gas behavior?
