All gases during throttling process at atmospheric temperature and pressure show a cooling effect except__________________?
Correct answer: B. H2
- A. CO2
- B. H2
- C. O2
- D. N2
Explanation
Hydrogen has a very low inversion temperature, so at ordinary atmospheric conditions throttling produces heating rather than cooling. CO2, O2 and N2 normally show cooling under these conditions.
