Chapter 10: Q10.4-62 E (page 589)

Is it possible to liquefy nitrogen at room temperature (about 25 °C)? Is it possible to liquefy sulfur dioxide at room temperature? Explain your answers.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Nitrogen cannot be liquefied at room temperature, whereas Sulfur dioxide can be liquified.

Step by step solution

01

Critical temperature

The critical temperature is the temperature above which gas can be liquefied.

02

Explanation

From table10.3, it can be seen thatthe critical temperature of Nitrogen is196K `and room temperature is293 K. Therefore,nitrogen cannot be liquefied at room temperature. On the other hand, the critical temperature of Sulfur dioxide is,and room temperature is 293 K. Therefore, this can be liquefied at room temperature.
