The critical temperature and pressure of CS₂ are 279 °C and 78 atm, respectively. At temperatures above 279 °C and pressures above 78 atm, CS₂ can only occur as a ________. A)solid B)liquid C)liquid and gas D)gas E)supercritical fluid

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At temperatures and pressures above the critical point, CS₂ is in a state known as a supercritical fluid, which has properties between those of a gas and a liquid. Therefore, the correct choice is (E) supercritical fluid.

The Critical Temperature and Pressure of CS2 Are 279 °C
