Which of the following represents the Virial equation of state ?
Correct answer: B. PV/RT = 1 + (B/V) + (C/V2) + ......
- A. T = [RT/(V- b)] - [a/√T. V(V + b)]
- B. PV/RT = 1 + (B/V) + (C/V2) + ......
- C. n1u2 + μ2μ1 = 0
- D. None of these
Explanation
The virial equation expresses the compressibility factor as a series in inverse molar volume: PV/RT = 1 + B/V + C/V² + …. Option a is a van der Waals-type equation, not a virial form.
