The virial equation of state expresses Z as a power series in
Atemperature
B1/Vm (or P)
Cthe gas constant
Dmolar mass
Answer: B
The virial equation writes Z=1+B/Vm+C/Vm2+… or equivalently Z=1+B′P+C′P2+…. The coefficients depend on temperature and on the gas, and each successive term is a smaller correction.
