What is the significance of the compressibility factor Z for ideal gases?
Options
- AZ varies at different temperatures.
- BZ deviates from unity at low pressures.
- CZ is equal to 1 at all temperatures and pressures.
- DZ increases as pressure decreases.
Correct answer
C. Z is equal to 1 at all temperatures and pressures.
Step-by-step solution
For ideal gases, Z is always equal to 1 at all temperatures and pressures.
