3. Fig. 3-1 shows z as function of mole fraction of butane in a nitrogen/butane mixture. The figure shows line for various pressures. Explain why z for pure butane behaves so differently from z for pure nitrogen as P increases, in particular, why is the butane z non-monotonic in pressure.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Compressability factor is the measure of deviation from ideality or ideal behavior of the real gases and it is written as

Z=PVnRT

Where Z is the compressability factor

P is the pressure and T is temperature

V is the volume 

n is number of mole of the real gases

R is the gas constant.
