State whether the following is true or false.
The Poynting correction can usually be neglected at pressures near atmospheric.

  • A.False only at small scales
  • B.True
  • C.False
  • D.True only at large scales

Answer: B

The exponent is small because the liquid molar volume is small, so the factor differs from one by well under a per cent. At high pressure, as in reservoir calculations, it becomes significant. The exponent grows in direct proportion to the pressure.
