Given below are two statements: Statement-I : Boyle temperature of gas depends upon its nature. Statement-II : Above Boyle temperature real gases shows negative deviation from ideality. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Step-by-step solution

- Statement-I is correct because the Boyle temperature (the temperature at which a real gas behaves like an ideal gas over a range of pressures) depends on the nature of the gas, i.e., different gases have different Boyle temperatures. - Statement-II is incorrect because above the Boyle temperature, real gases show positive deviation from ideal gas behavior, not negative deviation. Negative deviation occurs below the Boyle temperature.
