Q55 / 180 · NEET 2018 · Chemistry

Given, van der Waal's constant for NH3, H2, O2 and CO2 are respectively 4.17, 0.244, 1.36 and 3.59. Which one of the following gases is most easily liquefied?

  • A
    O2
  • B
    H2
  • Correct answer
    C
    NH3
  • D
    CO2

Solution

The gas having higher critical temperature gets liquefied easily.

Critical temperature∝van der Waal's constant a. 

Maximum "a" ⇒ easiest liquefaction =NH3 .

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
