Pressure versus volume graph for a real gas and an ideal gas are shown in figure. Answer the following questions on the basis of this graph.
(i) Interpret the behaviour of real gas with respect to ideal gas at low pressure.
(ii) Interpret the behaviour of real gas with respect to ideal gas at high pressure.

(i) ![]() |
(a) pV vs. V |
(ii) ![]() |
(b) p vs. V |
(iii) ![]() |
(c) p vs. `1/V` |
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.
