Compressibility Factor Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Compressibility Factor?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

z = \frac{p \cdot v}{R \cdot T}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

z = \frac{38.4Pa \cdot 0.8m³/kg}{0.055J/(kg*K) \cdot 288.16K}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

z = \frac{38.4 \cdot 0.8}{0.055 \cdot 288.16}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

z = 1.93831709656252

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

z = 1.9383
