When sudden expansion of gases takes place, cooling occurs. This is called _.
Correct answer: B. Joule Thomson effect
- A. Freezing effect
- B. Joule Thomson effect
- C. Boyle's effect
- D. J.Perrin effect
Explanation
Answer: B Joule Thomson effect is the phenomenon accompanying a change in temperature due to a rapid change in the volume of a gas (rapid expansion or rapid compression).

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.
