Why does the boundary between liquid phase and gaseous phase disappear on heating a liquid up to critical temperature in a closed vessel? In this situation what will be the state of the substance?
When a liquid is heated up to its critical temperature in a closed vessel, it does not pass through a two phase region and substances remain in one phase. There is a continuity between a gaseous and liquid state. The term fluid is used for either a liquid or a gas to recognize this continuity. Liquid and gas can be distinguished only when the fluid is below its critical temperature and the surfaces separating them can be seen. At critical temperature, liquid passes into gaseous state continuously and the surface separating the two phases disappears. A gas below the critical temperature can be liquefied by applying pressure.
2.9 g of a gas at 95 °C occupied the same volume as 0.184 g of hydrogen at 17 °C at the same pressure. What is the molar mass of the gas ?
Assertion (A): Gases do not liquefy above their critical temperature, even on applying high pressure.
