When helium gas is allowed to expand into vaccum, heating effect is observed. The reason for this is (assume He as a non ideal gas)

  1. A He is an inert gas
  2. B The inversion temperature of helium is very high
  3. C The inversion temperature of helium is very low
  4. D He has the lowest boiling point.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) The inversion temperature of helium is very low

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hydrogen and helium exhibit heating effect during Joule Thomson expansion due to low inversion temperature.
