Z=(PV/RT) ⇒ (40×0.4/300×0.082) Z=0.65

Q. Calculate the compressibility factor for $C O_{2}$ , if one mole of it occupies $0.4$ litre at $300 K$ and $40 a t m$ . Comment on the result:

$0.40, C O_{2}$ is more compressible than ideal gas

$0.65, C O_{2}$ is more compressible than ideal gas

$0.55, C O_{2}$ is more compressible than ideal gas

$0.62, C O_{2}$ is more compressible than ideal gas

$Z = \frac{P V}{RT}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{40 \times 0.4}{300 \times 0.082}$
$Z = 0.65$
