Calculate the compressibility factor for `CO_(2)` if one mole of it occupies `0.4` litre at `300K` and `40 atm`. Comment on the result:

Options

A. `0.40, CO_(2)` is more compressible than ideal gas
B. `0.65, CO_(2)` is more compressible than ideal gas
C. `0.55, CO_(2)` is more compressible than ideal gas
D. `0.62, CO_(2)` is more compressible than ideal gas

Answer

B

Explanation

`Z=(PV)/(RT)implies (40xx0.4)/(300xx0.082)`
`Z= 0.65`
