Why do you think the z-meter is designed to have a large ratio of the two volumes (V2/V1 = 52.068)? What would be the disadvantage if the ratio V2/V1 was small, such that V2 << V1? 2. For each experimental measurement of a real gas, which value of z will deviate most from ideality? Explain your answer in a sentence. a. z1 b. z2 c. z3 d. All three are the same 3. At the ambient temperatures and relatively moderate pressures studied in this lab (never exceeding about 80 bar), why is it reasonable to assume that z depends linearly on pressure, such that the third virial coefficient, C, and higher can be neglected? 4. Is essentially adiabatic operation required for accurate data analysis? Explain your answer in a sentence.
