Question

The extent to which real gases deviated from ideal gas can be measured, what is this term of factor called? write its mathematical equation​

Answer 1

1 mole of SO2 occupies a volume of 350 ml at 300K and 50 atm pressure. Calculate the compressibility factor of the gas.

Solution:

P = 50 atm.

V = 350 ml = 0.350 litre.

n = 1 mole.

T = 300L Z = PV / nRT.

∴ Z = 50 × 0.350 / 1 × 0.082 × 300 = 0.711.

Thus SO2 is more compressible than expected from ideal behaviour.
