When the 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. Boyles effect
  • D. J Perrin effect

Explanation

Joule-Thomson effect, also called Joule-Kelvin effect, the change in temperature that accompanies expansion of a gas without production of work or transfer of heat.OPTION A: Freezing is a phase transition where a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered below its freezing point.OPTION B: Joule-Thomson effect, also called Joule-Kelvin effect, the change in temperature that accompanies expansion of a gas without production of work or transfer of heatOPTION C: Boyle's effect states that If volume increases, then pressure decreases and vice versa, when the temperature is held constant.OPTION D: J perrin has no work of effects but he is known especially for his discovery of sedimentation equilibrium.

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.
