At low pressure,Vander Waal's equation is reduced to $\left[ P + \frac{a}{V^2} \right]V = RT$. The compressibility factor $(Z)$ can be given as

  • A
    $1 - \frac{a}{RTV}$
  • B
    $1 - \frac{RTV}{a}$
  • C
    $1 + \frac{a}{RTV}$
  • D
    $1 + \frac{RTV}{a}$

$A$ real gas most closely approaches the behaviour of an ideal gas at

Under which of the following conditions does a real gas behave most like an ideal gas?

Consider the following table:
Gas $a / (kPa \cdot dm^6 \cdot mol^{-2})$ $b / (dm^3 \cdot mol^{-1})$
$A$ $642.32$ $0.05196$
$B$ $155.21$ $0.04136$
$C$ $431.91$ $0.05196$
$D$ $155.21$ $0.4382$

$a$ and $b$ are van der Waals constants. The correct statement about the gases is:

$A$ gas at $350 \; K$ and $15 \; bar$ has a molar volume $20$ percent smaller than that for an ideal gas under the same conditions. The correct option about the gas and its compressibility factor $(Z)$ is

Assertion : Compressibility factor $(Z)$ for non-ideal gases can be greater than $1$.
Reason : Non-ideal gases always exert higher pressure than expected.
