9.2.7.1 Basic Definitions Critical temperature (T c)The maximum temperature at which a gas can be converted into a liquid by an increase inpressure. Critical pressure (p c)The minimum pressure which would suffice to liquefy a substance at its criticaltemperature. Above the critical pressure, increasing the temperature will not cause a fluidto vaporize to give a two-phase system.
The critical temperature of a gas is the temperature at or above which no amount of pressure, however great, will cause the gas to liquefy. The minimum pressure required to liquefy the gas at the critical temperature is called the critical pressure. For example, the critical temperature for carbon dioxide is 88Â°F (31Â°C). That means that no amount of pressure applied to a sample of carbon dioxide gas at or above 88Â°F will cause the gas to liquefy.
