Vedclass · Answer

(A) The compressibility factor $(z)$ is defined as $z = PV/nRT$. For real gases,the deviation from ideal behavior is primarily due to intermolecular forces of attraction,represented by the van der Waals constant $'a'$. $A$ higher value of $'a'$ indicates stronger intermolecular forces of attraction. Stronger attractive forces lead to a greater negative deviation from ideal behavior,resulting in a lower compressibility factor $(z Since $NH_3$ and $CO_2$ are polar or more easily liquefiable than $N_2$,they have larger values of the constant $'a'$ compared to $N_2$. Therefore,the compressibility factor is lower for $NH_3$ and $CO_2$ than for $N_2$.

The compressibility factor $(z)$ is lower for $NH_3$ and $CO_2$ gases than that of $N_2$ gas,because
