All gases except ____________ shows a cooling effect during throttling process at atmospheric temperature and pressure?

Correct answer: D. Hydrogen

  • A. Oxygen
  • B. Nitrogen
  • C. Air
  • D. Hydrogen

Explanation

At ordinary atmospheric conditions, hydrogen is above its Joule-Thomson inversion temperature, so throttling produces heating rather than cooling. Oxygen, nitrogen and air normally cool under these conditions.
