Compressibility factor of a gas is

A. Not a function of its pressure

B. Not a function of its nature

C. Not a function of its temperature

D. Unity, if it follows PV = nRT

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Compressibility factor of a real gas infect dependent on pressure at high pressure the molecules of the gas becomes so close that compressing this high pressure gas becomes more difficult than compressing the ideal gas the real gas becomes less compressible than ideal gas at high pressures.
