At low pressures,van der Waals' equation is written as $(P + \frac{a}{V^2})V = RT$. The compressibility factor $Z$ will be

  • A
    $(1 - \frac{a}{RTV})$
  • B
    $(1 - \frac{RTV}{a})$
  • C
    $(1 + \frac{a}{RTV})$
  • D
    $(1 + \frac{RTV}{a})$

Four gases $P, Q, R$ and $S$ have almost same values of $b$ but their $a$ values ($a, b$ are van der Waals' constants) are in the order $Q < R < S < P$. At a particular temperature among the four gases, the most liquefiable one is

At a given temperature $T$,gases $Ne$,$Ar$,$Xe$,and $Kr$ are found to deviate from ideal gas behaviour. Their equation of state is given as $P = \frac{RT}{V - b}$ at $T$. Here,$b$ is the van der Waals constant. Which gas will exhibit a steeper increase in the plot of $Z$ (compression factor) versus $P$?
