Answer:

★Compressibility factor can be defined as the ratio of molar volume of a gas to the molar volume of an ideal gas at the same temperature and pressure .

★It is represented by Z and is also known as compression factor or gas deviation factor.

★It helps in modifying the ideal gas law to study the behavior of real gas .

$\boxed{PV = ZRT}$

★The Z factor for an ideal gas is always 1.

Answer 2

Compressibility Factor is the ratio of molar volume of gas to that of ideal gas. It is the measure of the amount a gas is deviating from its perfect behavior at similar pressure and temperature. It is an important thermodynamic property used to modify the law of ideal gas to account for the behavior of real gas. When the gas is closer to the phase change, the deviation of the gas from its ideal behavior turns out to be more momentous.
