Z>1 shows that it is difficult to compress the gas as compared to ideal gas.

Q. Consider the equation $Z = \frac{P V}{n RT};$ which of the following statements is correct?

When $Z > 1$ , real gases are easier to compress than the ideal gas.

When $Z = 1,$ real gases get compressed easily.

When $Z > 1$ , real gases are difficult to compress.

When $Z = 1,$ real gases are difficult to compress.

$Z > 1$ shows that it is difficult to compress the gas as compared to ideal gas.
