Assertion (A): At constant temperature, pV vs V plot for real gases is not a straight line.

Reason (R) : At high pressure all gases have Z > 1 but at intermediate pressure most gases have Z < 1. 

(i) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

(ii) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

(iii) A is true but R is false.

(iv) A is false but R is true.

<p><span data-teams="true">This is a assertion and reason answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar</span></p><p><span data-teams="true">At constant temperature, the pV vs V plot for real gases is not a straight line because there is intermolecular attraction present in real gases which is absent in ideal gases; hence ideal gases form a straight line in the pV vs V plot at constant temperature.</span></p>
