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 liquified above 30.98°C and 73 atm however high temperature and pressure may be applied on CO2 gas. Hence, CO2 gas cannot be liquified at 32°C and 80 atm.
