Question

The deviation from ideal behavior of a gas is most evident at [x] and/or low temperature. The van der Waals equation corrects the ideal gas law for the finite volume and [y] of gas molecules.

True / False.

Answer 1

Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Based on the corresponding states principles, the compressibility factor is nearer to 1 at high temperatures.

On the other hand, Van der Waals Equation of States doesn't consider the nature of the molecule but the interactions between them, taking into account that the nature of the molecule lies on its shape (acentric factor) which is actually considered by other equations of state such as Redlich-Kwong or Peng-Robinson.

Best regards.
