Given van der Waals constant for NH3NH_3, H2H_2, O2O_2 and CO2CO_2 are respectively 4.17, 0.244, 1.36 and 3.59, which one of the following gases is most easily liquefied?

A

O2O_2

B

H2H_2

C

NH3NH_3

D

CO2CO_2

Step-by-Step Solution

Van der waal constant 'a' signifies intermolecular forces of attraction. Higher is the value of 'a', easier will be the liquefaction of gas. Since NH3NH_3 has the highest value (4.17), it is most easily liquefied.
