Moderate

Under conditions of equal reduced pressure and equal reduced temperature, substances are said to be in the 'corresponding states'. At equal reduced conditions i.e., at the corresponding state, the ____________ of different gases are nearly the same?

Correct answer: A. Compressibility

  • A. Compressibility
  • B. Molecular weight
  • C. Humidity
  • D. None of these

Explanation

The corresponding-states principle states that fluids at equal reduced temperature and pressure have approximately equal compressibility factors. Molecular weight and humidity are not universal corresponding-state properties.
