Question

Review the following statements regarding properties of real and ideal gases. Identify the statement that is not correct? Group of answer choices The ratio PV/RT = 1 for one mole of an ideal gas. The ratio PV/nRT < 1 for one mole of a real gas because of repulsive interactions between the molecules. The ratio PV/nRT > 1 for one mole of a real gas because of the finite size of the molecules. At low temperatures, the attractive forces between molecules cause a real gas to deviate from ideal gas behavior. At high pressures, the finite size of the molecules causes a real gas to deviate from ideal gas behavior

Answer 1

Answer:.The ratio PV/nRT < 1 for one mole of a real gas because of repulsive interactions between the molecules.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression PV/nRT is referred to as the compressibility factor commonly designated as Z.

This compressibility factor (Z) for real gas is often less than 1. Z<1 means attraction forces are dominant in the system.

Hence, Z<1 implies attractive and not repulsive force dominance in the system.
