WBCS.LIVE practice question

What is the exact compressibility factor (Z) for an ideal gas under all conditions of temperature and pressure?

Solve this multiple-choice question and check the correct answer with its explanation below.

Answer options

  1. 0
  2. 1
  3. Infinity
  4. Less than 1

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: B) 1 šŸ“š Explanation: The compressibility factor (Z) is a thermodynamic property used to modify the ideal gas law to account for real gas behavior. For a perfectly ideal gas, the attractive forces between molecules are zero, and the volume of the molecules is negligible, making the value of 'Z' exactly equal to 1 under all conditions.
