For a gas with at low pressure, where is negative at and positive at , which statements are correct?

  1. A is less than the Boyle temperature and is greater than it
  2. BAt the molar volume is smaller than the ideal value at the same pressure
  3. CAt the gas is less compressible than an ideal gas
  4. DThe product at decreases with increasing at low pressure

Answer: A, B, C, D

Negative means attraction dominates, which occurs below ; positive occurs above (A true). At , is less than 1, so is below the ideal value (B true). At , exceeds 1 and the gas resists compression more than an ideal gas (C true). falls with when is negative (D true).
