At sufficiently high pressure, where excluded-volume effects dominate, the volume of a real gas compared with the ideal-gas prediction is generally:

Verified Answer & Explanation⌄

Correct Answer: B) Larger

Concept Explanation

At very high pressure, molecular volume and repulsive effects become important, giving Z > 1 and a larger volume than the ideal prediction at the same P, T and n.
