When the pressure of a sample of gas is increased from 0.50 to 100 atm at constant temperature, its — States of Matter and Gaseous State Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

at very high pressures (100 atm), the gas is highly compressed and the container volume becomes extremely small (13 ml). under these conditions, the volume occupied by the gas molecules themselves (the co-volume 'b') becomes a significant fraction of the total container volume, leading to strong positive deviation from boyle's law.
