Question

Which one of the following represents Boyle's temperature of a gas?

• A. The temperature at which an ideal gas obeys Boyle's law.
• B. The temperature at which the compressibility factor is less than 1 for a real gas.
• C. The temperature at which a gas obeys ideal gas law over an appreciable range of pressure.
• D. The temperature at which the compressibility factor deviates from 1 for an ideal gas.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The Boyle's temperature is defined as the temperature at which a real gas obeys ideal gas laws over an appreciable range of pressure.
