Question
Explain whether a gas approaches ideal behavior or deviates from ideal behaviour if it is compressed to a smaller volume at a constant temperature.

Solution
When the gas is compressed to a smaller volume, the compressibility factor (Z) decreases. Hence, the gas deviates from ideal behavior.
