Question

Critical temperature for CO. and methane are 31.1°C and -81.9°C respectively, which o
these has stronger intermolecular forces and why?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

On the one hand, the critical temperature for CO2 is 31.1 °C, which is higher than that for CH4 (−82.6 °C). Thus it is relatively easy for CO2 gas to be liquefied. The stronger attraction between CO2 molecules makes them much easier to be adsorbed by shale organic matter.
