The expression for compressibility factor for one mole of a van der Waal's gas at low pressure, neglecting higher order terms, is

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

From P = (RT)/(V-b) - a/(V²), Z = V/(V-b) - a/(RTV). At low pressure (V large), V/(V-b) ≈ 1 + b/V, so Z ≈ 1 + b/V - a/(RTV) = 1 + (b - a/RT)/V. Ans: (a)
