Arrange the following gases in increasing order of van der Waals constant ′a′' a '
(A) ArAr
(B) CH4{CH}_{4}
(C) H2O{H}_{2}O
(D) C6H6{C}_{6}{H}_{6}
Choose the correct option from the following.

Options

  1. AD, C, B and A
  2. BB, C, D and A
  3. CC, D, B and A
  4. DA, B, C and D

Correct answer

D. A, B, C and D

Step-by-step solution

The van der Waals' constant ′a′′ a ′is directly proportional to the intermolecular force of attraction; hence, the gas with greater value of ′a′′ a ′ can be most easily liquefied.The values of Vander Waal's constant ′a′' a ' for the given gases are:
Gases Vander Waal's Constant ′a′' a '
A. ArAr 1.35L21 . 35{L}^{2} atm mol2{mol}^{2}
B. CH4{CH}_{4} 2.25L22 . 25{L}^{2} atm mol2{mol}^{2}
C. H2O{H}_{2}O 5.536L25 . 536{L}^{2} atm mol2{mol}^{2}
D. C6H6{C}_{6}{H}_{6} 18.57L218 . 57{L}^{2} atm mol2{mol}^{2}
∴∴Increasing order of ′a′' a ' for the given gases
A<B<C<DA < B < C < D
