Which of the following is correct? Kindly explain the answer also.

a) For H2 and He, Z>1, and molar volume at STP is less than 22.4 L.
b) For H2 and He, Z<1, and molar volume at STP is greater than 22.4 L.
c)ForH2and He, Z>1, and molar volume atSTPis less than 22.4 L.
d)​ForH2and He, Z>1, and molar volume atSTPis greater than 22.4 L.

Kindly answer sir/mam.

Videal = 22.4L     (at STP)

and,

Z ( compressibility factor) = VrealVideal


At STP , Z >1 for H2 and He.


This is because of their very small size. So as Z is greater than 1 and z is inversely proportional to Videal,so value of 22.4 L should decrease. Correct option is C.
