The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements regarding the compressibility factor (Z) and its relationship with pressure (P) are correct, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Compressibility Factor (Z)**: - The compressibility factor (Z) is defined as \( Z = \frac{PV}{nRT} \), where: - \( P \) = pressure - \( V \) = volume - \( n \) = number of moles - \( R \) = universal gas constant - \( T \) = temperature - Z indicates how much a real gas deviates from ideal gas behavior. For an ideal gas, \( Z = 1 \). 2. **Analyzing the Slope of Z vs P at Constant Temperature**: - The slope of the graph of Z vs P can be derived from the Van der Waals equation, which accounts for real gas behavior. - The equation can be rearranged to show that at high pressures, for gases like Helium and Hydrogen (where the attraction forces are negligible, A ≈ 0), the slope is given by \( \frac{B}{RT} \). 3. **Evaluating Each Statement**: - **Statement 1**: "The slope of Z vs P at constant temperature for all real gases is \( \frac{B}{RT} \)." - This statement is **incorrect**. The slope \( \frac{B}{RT} \) is specifically applicable to certain gases (like Helium and Hydrogen) at high pressures, not all real gases. - **Statement 2**: "The slope of Z vs P at constant temperature for both Helium and Hydrogen is \( \frac{B}{RT} \)." - This statement is **correct**. For Helium and Hydrogen, at high pressures, the slope of Z vs P is indeed \( \frac{B}{RT} \) because A is negligible. - **Statement 3**: "The slope of Z vs P at low pressure for all real gases at constant temperature is \( \frac{B}{RT} \)." - This statement is **incorrect**. At low pressures, the behavior of real gases varies, and the slope does not consistently equal \( \frac{B}{RT} \) for all gases. - **Statement 4**: "The slope of Z vs P at high pressure for all real gases at constant temperature is \( \frac{B}{RT} \)." - This statement is **incorrect**. While it holds true for certain gases (like Helium and Hydrogen), it does not apply to all real gases, as their behavior can differ significantly. ### Summary of Correct Statements: - Only **Statement 2** is correct.

To determine which of the statements regarding the compressibility factor (Z) and its relationship with pressure (P) are correct, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Compressibility Factor (Z)**: - The compressibility factor (Z) is defined as \( Z = \frac{PV}{nRT} \), where: - \( P \) = pressure - \( V \) = volume ...
