In the following compressibility factor ( Z ) vs pressure graph at 300 ~K , the compressibility of CH ₄ at pressure
Options
- AThe molar volume of CH ₄ is less than its molar volume in the ideal state
- BThe molar volume of CH ₄ is same as that in its ideal state
- CIntermolecular interactions between CH ₄ molecules decresases
- DThe molar volume of CH ₄ is more than its molar volume in the ideal state
Correct answer
A. The molar volume of CH ₄ is less than its molar volume in the ideal state
Step-by-step solution
Z= ( V _ M ) r ( V _ M )_ i < 1 at p < 200 bar ( V _ M )_ r < ( V _ M )_ i
