Gases possess characteristic critical temperature which depends upon the magnitude of intermolecular forces between the gas particles. Critical temperatures of ammonia and carbon dioxide are $405.5 \ K$ and $304.10 \ K$ respectively. Which of these gases will liquefy first when you start cooling from $500 \ K$ to their critical temperature?

  • A
    Ammonia
  • B
    Carbon dioxide
  • C
    Both will liquefy at the same time
  • D
    None of these
