Asked in Premeth Test 4 — States of Matter, Solids, Liquids and Gases (6 March 2025) 2025Moderate

Which has highest value of critical temprature?

Correct answer: B. Ammonia

  • A. Helium
  • B. Ammonia
  • C. Oxygen
  • D. CO2

Explanation

Correct. Ammonia has a high critical temperature of ~405.5 K because of strong hydrogen bonding between its molecules, which increases intermolecular forces and raises the temperature at which it can remain in a liquid state under pressure.

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.
