Solution

The correct option is B

1


The explanation for the correct option:

Option(B): 1

  • The compressibility factor is known as the ratio of the molar volume of a real gas to the molar volume of an ideal gas.
  • We know the compressibility factor of an ideal gas i.e. PV=nRT, it is generally measured at the constant temperature and pressure.
  • Also, we can say that if all these factors will keep constant, then the number of moles of gas will also be a constant or equal to 1.
  • Since the compressibility factor which is also described at a constant temperature and pressure would also be equal to 1,i.e.Z=1.

Hence, the compressibility factor for an ideal gas is known as 1, option (B) is the correct answer.
