In the virial equation Z=1+B′P+C′P2+…, at low pressure the most important correction term is
AC′P2
BB′P
Cthe constant 1
Dnone, all terms are equal
Answer: B
At low pressure P2 is much smaller than P, so the first correction B′P dominates; higher terms matter only at high pressure. The constant 1 is the ideal value, not a correction.
