Critical temperatures of ammonia and carbon dioxide are 405.5 K and 304.10 K, respectively. Which of these gases will liquify first when you start cooling from 500 K to their critical temperature?
Ammonia
Carbon dioxide
Both will liquify at same time
Nothing can be predicted
Since the critical temperature of ammonia is more than carbon dioxide, thus ammonia will liquify first as its critical temperature will be reached first. The liquefaction of carbon dioxide will require cooling to a lesser temperature.
Therefore, Option(1) is correct
