Compressibility factor

The compressibility factor, $Z$, is given by

Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle Z={\frac {pV}{Nk_{B}T}}}

where p is the pressure, V is the volume, $k_{B}$ is the Boltzmann constant, T is the temperature and N is the number of molecules.

Compressibility factor of an Ideal Gas

From the ideal gas law we see that

$Z={\frac {pV}{Nk_{B}T}}=1$
