Q. An experiment is carried on a fixed amount of gas at different temperatures and at high pressure such that it deviates from the ideal gas behavior. The variation of $\frac{PV}{RT}$ with $P$ is shown in the diagram. The correct variation will correspond to
A) Curve $A$
B) Curve$\ B$
C) Curve $C$
D) Curve $D$
Explanation
(b) At lower pressure we can assume that given gas behaves as ideal gas so $\frac{PV}{RT} =$ constant but when pressure increases, the decrease in volume will not take place in same proportion so $\frac{PV}{RT}$ will increase
