Solution

The correct option is D P and Q
Gases cannot be liquefied above the critical temperature however high the pressure may be applied.
As P and Q gases have critical temperature less than $100 K$ whereas, R and S have critical temprature higher than $100 K$ , therefore P and Q gases cannot be liquified at a temperature $100 K$ and $50 a t m$ .

Which of the gas/gases cannot be liquefied at a temperature of 100 K and a pressure of 50 atmospheres?

Q. Assertion (A): Real gases tend to behave as ideal gas at low pressure and high Temperature.
Reason (R): At temperature more than critical temperature, a gas can’t be liquefied just by increasing the pressure. Which of the followings is correct?

The essential conditions for liquefaction of gases were discovered by Andrews in

1869

as a result of his study of pressure-volume-temperature relationship for

C O_{2}

. It was found that above a certain temperature, it was impossible to liquefy a gas whatever the pressure was applied. The temperature below which the gas can be liquefied by the application of pressure alone is called critical temperature

(T_{c})

. The pressure required to liquefy a gas at this temperature is called the critical pressure

(P_{c)}

. The volume occupied by one mole of the substance at the critical temperature and pressure is called critical volume. Critical constants are related with van der Waals' constant as follows:

V_{c} = 3 b, P_{c} = \frac{a}{27 b^{2}}, T_{c} = \frac{8 a}{27 R b}

.
