The diagram displays the plot of the compression factor Z versus p for a few gases.
 
Which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct for a van der Waals’ gas ?
  1. The plot I is applicable provided the van der Waals’ constant a is negligible.
  2. The plot II is applicable provided the van der Waals’ constant b is negligible.
  3. The plot III is applicable provided the van der Waals’ constant a and b are negligible.
  4. The plot IV is applicable provided the temperature in the gas is much higher than its critical temperature.

Answer

(A) The plot I is applicable provided the van der Waals’ constant a is negligible., (B) The plot II is applicable provided the van der Waals’ constant b is negligible., (C) The plot III is applicable provided the van der Waals’ constant a and b are negligible.
