Question
Assertion (A): At constant temperature, pV vs V plot for real gases is not a straight line.
Reason (R): At high pressure all gases have \[\ce{Z}\] > 1 but at intermediate pressure most gases have \[\ce{Z}\] < 1.
Options
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.

Solution
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
At constant temperature, the pV vs V plot for real gases is not a straight line because there is intermolecular attraction present in real gases which is absent in ideal gases; hence ideal gases form a straight line in the pV vs V plot at constant temperature.
