    If Z is a compressibility factor, van der Waals equation at low pressure can be written as

    A) \[Z=1-\frac{Pb}{RT}\]  

    B) \[Z=1+\frac{Pb}{RT}\]

    C) \[Z=1+\frac{RT}{Pb}\]

    D) \[Z=1-\frac{a}{VRT}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[\left( P+\frac{{{n}^{2}}a}{{{V}^{2}}} \right)(V-nb)=nRT\] For 1 mole, \[\left( P+\frac{a}{{{V}^{2}}} \right)(V-b)=RT\] \[PV=RT+Pb-\frac{a}{V}+\frac{ab}{{{V}^{2}}}\] At low pressure, terms \[pb\] and \[\frac{ab}{{{V}^{2}}}\]will be negligible as compared to RT. So,\[PV=RT-\frac{a}{V},Z=1-\frac{a}{VRT}\]
