Compressibility factor of a gas is given by the equation Z=nRTPV. On this basis, mark the correct statement.
A
When Z > 1, real gases get compressed easily
B
When Z = 1 real gases get compressed easily.
C
When Z > 1, real gases are difficult to compress.
D
When z = 1, real gases are difficult to compress.
Answer
When Z > 1, real gases are difficult to compress.
Explanation
Solution
: When Z > 1 real gases are difficult to compress because the forces of attraction between the molecules are very feeble.
