Q35 / 118 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Chemistry · States of Matter
Given van der Waals constant for and are respectively 4.17, 0.244, 1.36 and 3.59, which one of the following gases is most easily liquefied?
- A
- B
- Correct answerC
- D
Solution
Here is most easily liquefied as for it the value of 'a' is maximum.
van der waal constant ‘a’, signifies intermolecular forces of attraction.
Higher is the value of ‘a’, easier will be the liquefaction of gas.
Liquefaction ‘a’-value
van der waal constant ‘a’, signifies intermolecular forces of attraction.
Higher is the value of ‘a’, easier will be the liquefaction of gas.
Liquefaction ‘a’-value
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
