One mole of `CO_2` occupying 0.4 litre at 300 K and 40 atm pressure is

A

less compressible

B

more compressible

C

ideal

D

does not have a definite compressibility

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Compressibility factor `,(Z) = (PV)/(nRT)`
`Z=(40 xx 0.4)/(1 xx 0.0821 xx 300) = 0.65`
Since `Z lt 1 `, hence the gas is more compressible than expected from ideal behaviour.
