Question

If the critical temperature of a gas is $100^{\circ }C$, its Boyle temperature will be approximately

• A. $337.5^{\circ }C$
• B. $500^{\circ }C$
• C. $33.3^{\circ }C$
• D. $1000^{\circ }C$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Boyle temperature is defined as
$T_B=\frac{a}{Rb}=\frac{27}{8}\left(\frac{8a}{27Rb}\right)=\frac{27}{8}{T}_c=3.375T_c$
$=3.375\times 100=337.5^{\circ }C$
