Answer:
See answer below
Step-by-step explanation:
the ratio of pv against nrt is called compressibility Z and measures the deviation from an ideal gas behaviour . When Z is plotted against pressure for CH₄ for 0°C and 200°C the curves will differ because there are
- negative deviations ( Z decreases) due to intermolecular forces
- positive deviations (Z increases ) due to molecular size of gas particles
then
- at 0°C the negative deviations prevail respect to positive deviations at lower pressures ( so Z drops below the horizontal line first ) and then Z increases when pressure increases since the effect of positive deviation is higher ( then Z increases)
- Nevertheless, at 200°C the effect of intermolecular forces is lower and thus the positive deviations always prevail ( thus you observe only Z increasing(
