Given van der Waals constant for NH H O and CO are respectively 4.17, 0.244, 1.36 and 3.59, which one of the following gases is most easily liquefied?
O
H
NH
CO
To determine which gas is most easily liquefied, we need to consider the van der Waals constant The constant is a measure of the attraction between particles.A higher value of indicates stronger intermolecular forces, which makes the gas easier to liquefy.Given van der Waals constants:⢠⢠⢠⢠Comparing these values, we see that is the highest.Therefore, ammonia (NH) has the strongest intermolecular forces among the given gases.This means NH is the most easily liquefied gas.Thus, the correct option is Option 3: NH
