The critical temperature of a substance is the temperature at and above which vapor of the substance cannot be liquefied, no matter how much pressure is applied.

The critical pressure of a substance is the pressure required to liquefy a gas at its critical temperature.

Critical temperature and critical pressure correspond to the critical point in TTT diagram. Above critical point the gas will remain gas and a liquid will remain liquid no matter the increase in temperature or pressure and this state is known as a supercritical fluid.

If the substance is already at the liquid form at a critical pressure, that means that substance is either at critical temperature or below that. In this particular case, on further increase in pressure, we will always have liquid. So, option A is correct.

Here they are asking for liquid.

And for liquid critical values are those above which liquid directly flash off into gaseous phase.

i.e Vapour.

So, I think the answer must be C.

Critical pressure means the pressure at critical temperature. Critical temperature is temperature above which the gas cannot be liquefied even by increasing the pressure.

A is the correct answer because compressible liquid above critical points became supercritical fluid.

Uzumaki said:   7 years ago
A is the correct answer since it tells critical pressure of liquid not gas.

Ganesh said:   10 years ago
Critical pressure means pressure at which liquid convert into gas.

Ali said:   4 years ago
I thin both option A & D are correct.
