12.Kinetic Theory of Gases
medium
An experiment is carried on a fixed amount of gas at different temperatures and at high pressure such that it deviates from the ideal gas behaviour. The variation of $\frac{{PV}}{{RT}}$ with $P$ is shown in the diagram. The correct variation will correspond to

A
Curve $A$
B
Curve $B$
C
Curve $C$
D
Curve $D$
Solution
At low pressure, the gas will show ideal behaviour and hence $\frac{ PV }{ RT }=$ number of moles which will remain constant.
But as pressure increases, there will be dominant interatomic forces and actual volume will be less due to finite size. Hence, B curve will be followed.
