Which of the following statements is true of the critical temperature of a pure substance?
A. The critical temperature is the temperature above which the liquid phase of a pure substance can exist.
B. The critical temperature is the temperature above which the liquid phase of a pure substance cannot exist.
C. The critical temperature is the temperature below which the liquid phase of a pure substance cannot exist.
D. The critical temperature is the temperature at which all three phases can coexist.
E. The critical temperature is the temperature at which the pure substance reaches, but cannot go beyond, the critical pressure.
Answer (3)
B
After temperature reaches certain treshold the difference between density of liquid and gas state disappears, and it is impossible to liquify the substance.
Answer:what do u mean tho
;
The critical temperature of a pure substance is the temperature above which the liquid phase cannot exist, even under high pressure. Therefore, the correct answer is B. This temperature marks the threshold at which the gas phase becomes distinct from the liquid phase, leading to a supercritical state.
