Question

Ideal gas equation of state assumes compressibility factor of 1. a)-True b)-False

Answer 1

(a) True

Step-by-step explanation:

The compressibility factor is defined as the ratio of
`(PV)/(nRT)` here P is pressure V is volume R is constant and n is number of moles and T is temperature the ratio of
`(PV)/(nRT)` is 1 for the ideal gas. The compressibility factor is denoted by Z , its value may be greater or less than one but for ideal gas it is always 1
