1.	Compressibility factor, Z, of a gas is given as Z=(pV)/(nRT) (i) What is the value of Z for an ideal gas ? (ii) For real gas what will be the effect on value of Z above Boyle's temperature ?
Answer» Solution :(i) For ideal GAS, Z=1. (II) For a real gas, above Boyle's temperature, gas SHOWS POSITIVE deviation and hence `Z gt 1`
