What is the relationship between the strength of van der Waals’ forces and the critical temperature of a gas?
Options
- AStronger forces at higher critical temperatures
- BStronger forces at lower critical temperatures
- CNo relationship
- DInverse relationship
Correct answer
A. Stronger forces at higher critical temperatures
Step-by-step solution
The paragraph mentions that easily liquefiable gases are readily adsorbed as van der Waals’ forces are stronger near the critical temperatures.
