Maharashtra State Board: Class 12

Key Points: Liquefaction of Gases and Critical Constants

Critical Constants:

Constant Meaning
Critical Temperature (Tc) The temperature below which a gas can be liquefied by increasing pressure alone; above Tc, liquefaction is not possible regardless of pressure
Critical Pressure (Pc) The minimum pressure required to liquefy 1 mole of gas placed at its critical temperature
Critical Volume (Vc) The volume occupied by 1 mole of gas at its critical temperature
 

A gas below its critical temperature is called vapourabove it is called a gas.
