Answer

The claim is false.

Work Step by Step

$P_{R}=\frac{P}{P_{cr}}=\frac{3MPa}{5.08MPa}=0.591$ $T_{R}=\frac{T}{T_{cr}}=\frac{160K}{154.8K}=1.034$ From Fig. A-15: Z=0.79 Knowing that: $\upsilon=Z\upsilon_{idel}$ To determinate the error: $e=\frac{\upsilon-\upsilon_{ideal}}{\upsilon}=1-\frac{1}{Z}=1-\frac{1}{0.79}=-0.2658=-26.58\%$ The claim is false.
