The given graph represents the variation of $Z$ (compressibility factor = $\frac{PV}{nRT}$) versus $P$,for three real gases $A, B$ and $C$. Identify the only incorrect statement.

  • A
    For the gas $A, a=0$ and its dependence on $P$ is linear at all pressure.
  • B
    For the gas $B, b=0$ and its dependence on $P$ is linear at all pressure.
  • C
    For the gas $C$,which is a typical real gas for which neither $a$ nor $b=0$. By knowing the minima and the point of intersection with $Z=1$,$a$ and $b$ can be calculated.
  • D
    At high pressure,the slope is positive for all real gases.
