Question

The compressibility factor (Z) for a real gas at its Boyle temperature is ______.

Options

• 1

• 0

• > 1

• < 1

Answer 1

The compressibility factor (Z) for a real gas at its Boyle temperature is 1.

Explanation:

At Boyle temperature, the gas behaviour is perfect throughout a wide pressure range, and so Z = 1.
