A sample of (, ) is subjected to the following conditions. In which cases can a distinct liquid phase be obtained by compression at the stated temperature?

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Answer: A, B

Liquefaction by pressure alone is possible only at or below the critical temperature. and are below , so a liquid forms (A and B true). At and the gas becomes a supercritical fluid without a phase boundary (C and D false).
