Compressibility factor of a gas is given...

Compressibility factor of a gas is given by the equation `Z=(PV)/(nRT)`. On this basis , mark the correct statement.

A

When Z `gt` 1 , real gases get compressed easily .

B

When Z = 1 real gases get compressed easily .

C

When Z `gt` 1 , real gases are difficult to compress .

D

When Z = 1 , real gases are difficult to compress .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

When Z gt 1, real gases are difficlt to compress because the forces of attraction between the molecules are very feeble.
