The van der Waals equation for one mole of a real gas can be written as ( P + a / V ^2 )( V - b )= RT . For the gases H ₂, NH ₃ , and CH ₄ , the value of ' a ' ( . bar L ⁻² mol ⁻² ) are 0.2453,4.170 and 2.253 respectively. Which of the following can be inferred from the 'a' values?
Options
- ANH ₃ can be most easily liquefied
- BH ₂ can be most easily liquified
- Cvalue of 'a' for CH ₄ is less than that of NH ₃ because it has the lower molar mass
- Dintermolecular forces are the strongest in hydrogen
Correct answer
A. NH ₃ can be most easily liquefied
