The critical temperature (Tc) and critical pressure pc) of CO2 are 30.98∘C and 73 atm respectively.Can CO2 (g) be liquefied at 32∘C and 80 atm pressure?
The given critical temperature and pressure of CO2 gas are 30.98∘C and 73 atm respectively. This suggests that CO2 gas cannot be liquefied above 30.98∘C and 73 atm. Howsoever high temperature and pressure may be applied on CO2 gas. Hence, CO2 gas cannot be liquefied at 32.∘C and 80 atm.
