Calculate the compressibility factor of 1 mole of a certain real gas if it occupies 0.4 dm ^3 at 300 K and 40 atm. [R = 0.082 atm dm ^3 K ⁻¹ mol ⁻¹ ]
Options
- A0.45
- B0.65
- C0.85
- D1.00
Correct answer
B. 0.65
Step-by-step solution
The compressibility factor Z is given by the formula: Z = PV nRT Substituting the given values: Z = 40 0.4 1 0.082 300 Z = 16 24.6 Z 0.65 Answer: 0.65
