JEE Main levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 2 of 3rg170

The compressibility factor of at is at , at and at (approximate values). Which statement is correct?

  1. AAttraction dominates at and excluded volume dominates at
  2. BExcluded volume dominates at and attraction at
  3. CThe gas is above its Boyle temperature at
  4. DThe gas is ideal at

Answer: A

less than 1 at shows attraction lowering the pressure; greater than 1 at shows the finite molecular volume raising it. A dip followed by a rise means is below the Boyle temperature ().
