Assertion (A): The virial equation reduces to the ideal gas law at the limit of zero pressure. Reason (R): All correction terms in the virial series are multiplied by powers of P or 1/Vm that vanish in this limit. Choose the correct option.
ABoth A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
BBoth A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
CA is true but R is false
DA is false but R is true
Answer: A
As P→0 (or Vm→∞), B′P, C′P2, B/Vm and C/Vm2 all go to zero, leaving Z=1. R is the correct reason for A.
