The compressibility factor for an ideal gas is 1. Its value for any other real gas is
A. 1
B. < 1
C. > 1
D. Either (b) or (c), depends on the nature of the gas
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
As the real gas can deviate positively or negatively from ideal behavior it can have$$Z$$ (compressibility factor) > 1 → positive deviation.
$$Z$$ < 1→ negative deviation.
