Question
If Z is a compressibility factor, van der Waals equation at low pressure can be written as
Options
A.

B.

C.

D.

Solution
Compressibility factor (Z) = 
(For one mole of real gas)
van der Waal equation
(V - b) = RT
At low pressure
V - b ≈ V
V = RT
PV +
= RT
PV = RT -

So,

(For one mole of real gas)
van der Waal equation
(V - b) = RTAt low pressure
V - b ≈ V
V = RTPV +
= RTPV = RT -
