Chapter 1, Problem 1C.3BE

(i)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The compression factor for the given conditions of a gas has to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The volume occupied by the gas per mole is defined as the molar volume.  It is designated by $V_{\text{m}}$.  The formula used for molar volume is,

    $V_{\text{m}}=\frac{V}{n}$

The compression factor is defined as the ratio of molar volume of a gas to the molar volume of a perfect gas.  This is represented by the formula given below as,

  $Z=\frac{V_{\text{m}}}{V_{\text{m}}^{\text{°}}}$
