Problem

For a gas held at 320 K320\,\text{K}, the compressibility factor varies with pressure according to Z=0.88+0.0045 PZ = 0.88 + 0.0045\,P, where PP is in atmospheres. (a) Calculate the pressure at which Z=1Z = 1. (b) At 35 atm35\,\text{atm}, indicate whether deviations from ideality are dominated by intermolecular attractions or by the finite volume of gas particles.
