The gas which turns into liquid at the lowest temperature among the following is – |
| A. | hydrogen |
| B. | oxygen |
| C. | helium |
| D. | nitrogen |
| Answer» A. hydrogen | |
|
Explanation: Liquid hydrogen (LH2) is the liquid state, of the element hydrogen. Hydrogen is found naturally in the molecular H2 form. To exist as a liquid, H2 must be cooled below hydrogen's critical point of 33 K. However, for hydrogen to be in a full liquid state without evaporating at atmospheric pressure, it needs to be cooled to 20.28 K (-423.17 °F/-252.87°C). One common method of obtaining liquid hydrogen involves a compressor resembling a jet engine in both appearance and principle. |
