How the adsorption of a gas is related to the critical temperature

Text Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Critical Temperature (Tc)**: - The critical temperature (Tc) is defined as the temperature above which a gas cannot be liquefied, regardless of the pressure applied. This means that at temperatures above Tc, the gas exists only in the gaseous state. 2. **Relationship Between Critical Temperature and Van der Waals Forces**: - The critical temperature is indicative of the strength of intermolecular forces within a substance. A higher critical temperature suggests stronger van der Waals forces of attraction between gas molecules. This is because gases with higher critical temperatures require more pressure to liquefy, indicating that the intermolecular forces are significant. ...

How is the average KE of a gas molecule related to the temperature of the gas ?

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) . It 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 (Tc). The pressure required to liquefy a gas at this temperature is called the critical pressure (Pc). The volume occupied by one mole of the substance at the critical temperature and pressure is called critical 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 values of critical volumes of four gases A, B, C and D are 0.025L, 0.312L, 0.245L and 0.432L respectively. The gas with larger molecular diameter will be :
