What is the behavior of Z for all gases at high pressures?
Options
- AZ becomes zero.
- BZ remains constant at 1.
- CZ increases with increasing pressure.
- DZ decreases with increasing pressure.
Correct answer
C. Z increases with increasing pressure.
Step-by-step solution
At high pressures, all gases have Z values greater than 1, indicating that they are more difficult to compress.
