Maximum deviation from ideal gas is expected from
- CH4(g)
- NH3(g)
- H2(g)
- N2(g)
Answer
(2) NH3(g)
Solution
As per NCERT, real gases deviate from ideal behaviour because of intermolecular forces of attraction (and finite molecular volume); the stronger the attraction, the larger the deviation.
NH3 is a polar molecule with intermolecular hydrogen bonding, it has the highest van der Waals constant a and is most easily liquefied.
CH4, H2 and N2 are non-polar with only weak dispersion forces.
NH3(g) shows maximum deviation.
