What is the behavior of the pV vs. p plot for carbon monoxide and methane initially?
Options
- ANegative deviation
- BPositive deviation
- CNo deviation
- DIdeal behavior
Correct answer
A. Negative deviation
Step-by-step solution
The pV vs. p plot for carbon monoxide and methane initially shows a negative deviation from ideal behavior, where the pV value decreases with increasing pressure.
