NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3rg135

Assertion (A): Nitrogen cools when expanded through a throttle at room temperature. Reason (R): The inversion temperature of nitrogen is about , well above room temperature. Choose the correct option.

  1. ABoth A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
  2. BBoth A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
  3. CA is true but R is false
  4. DA is false but R is true

Answer: A

Cooling in a Joule-Thomson expansion occurs when is below the inversion temperature. Room temperature () is below , so nitrogen cools, and R is the correct reason.
