Question

The compressibility of a gas is greater than unity at $1atm$ and $273K$. Therefore:

• A. $V_m>22.4L$
• B. $V_m<22.4L$
• C. $V_m=22.4L$
• D. $V_m=44.8L$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$V_m<22.4L$

As repulsions domainate when Z>1, which leads to reduction in volume.

So, volume of that gas will be less than the volume of ideal gas at given conditions i.e. 22.4 L

Hence, Option "B" is the correct answer.
