To determine which substance, NH₃ (ammonia) or SO₂ (sulfur dioxide), has a higher value of the van der Waals constant 'a', we need to analyze the relationship between critical temperature and intermolecular forces. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Critical Temperature**: - The critical temperature (Tc) is the temperature above which a gas cannot be liquefied, regardless of the pressure applied. It reflects the strength of intermolecular forces in a substance. 2. **Given Data**: ...
