The essential conditions for liquefaction of gases were discovered by Andrews in 1869 as a result of his study of pressure-volume-temperature relationship for CO_(2) . If was found that above a certain temperature, it was impossible to liquefy a gas whatever the pressure was applied. The temperature below which the gas can be liquefied by the application of pressure alone is called critical temperature (T_(c)) . The pressure required to liquefy a gas at this temperature is called the critical pressure (P_(c)) . The volume occupied by one mole of the substance at the critical temperature and pressure is called critcal volume. Critical constants are related with van der Waals' constant as follows: V_(c) = 3b, P_(c) = (a)/(27b^(2)), T_(c) = (8a)/(27 Rb) The pressure required to liquefy a gas at the critical temperature is called :

Assertion: A gas with higher critical temperature gets adsorbed to more extent than a gas with lower critical temperature. Reason: The easily liquefiable gases get adsorbed to more extent which have higher critical temperature.

Is it possible to liquefy a gas at any temperature?
