Question

What happens to the compressibility factor Z for CO₂ at very high pressure at ordinary temperature?

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student,

Compressibility factor is given by,
$Z = \frac{{pV}_{m}}{RT}$
When CO₂is under high pressure, molecules are highly compressed. Therefore, repulsive forces becomes dominant and so there is hardly any further decrease in volume. Therefore, Z > 1 i.e. positive deviation will occur,
