The given graph represent the variations of Z (compressibility factor (Z) = \(\left.\frac{\mathrm{pV}}{\mathrm{nRT}}\right)\) versus p, for three real gases A, B and C. Identify the only incorrect statement (2006)
  1. For the gas A, a = 0 and its dependence on p is linear at all pressure.
  2. For the gas B, b = 0 and its dependence on p is linear at all pressure.
  3. For the gas C, which is typical real gas for which neither a nor b = 0. By knowing the minima and the point of intersection, with Z = 1, a and b can be calculated.
  4. At high pressure, the slope is positive for all real gases.

Answer

(A) For the gas A, a = 0 and its dependence on p is linear at all pressure.
