The phenomenon of cooling on sudden expansion of gases is called:

Correct answer: B. Joule Thomson effect

  • A. Bronstect effect
  • B. Joule Thomson effect
  • C. Graham's effect
  • D. Dalton's effect

Explanation

Therefore, the correct term is the "Joule-Thomson effect," which describes the cooling observed when a gas expands rapidly without any external work being done on it. The phenomenon of cooling on sudden expansion of gases is called the "Joule-Thomson effect."

About Real and Ideal Gases

An ideal gas is modelled as particles with negligible volume and no intermolecular attraction, obeying Boyle's, Charles's and Avogadro's laws through PV = nRT. Real gases deviate from this behaviour, especially at high pressure and low temperature, because particle volume and attractive forces matter; the van der Waals equation explains these corrections.
