NEET · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure

Given van der Waals constant for \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}, \mathrm{H}_{2},\mathrm{O}_{2}\) and \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) are respectively \(4.17,0.244,1.36\) and \(3.59,\) which one of the following gases is most easily liquefied?

  1. A \(NH_3\)
  2. B \(H_2\)
  3. C \(O_2\)
  4. D \(CO_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(NH_3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Critical temperature \(\propto\) vanderwaal constant (a) maximum "a" \(\Rightarrow\) gas with maximum \(T_{C } \Rightarrow\) easiest lıquification \(=\mathrm{NH}_{3}\)
