Chapter 1, Problem 1.6DQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Significance of the critical constants of a gas has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Critical constants:

The interface between the liquid and vapor disappears when a high temperature and pressure is reached is called critical temperature ${\text{T}}_{\text{c}}$ And corresponding pressure ${\mathrm{P}}_c$

Vapor pressure is nothing but the pressure of a vapor in contact with its liquid or solid form.

When a liquid and vapor are in equilibrium the pressure exerted by the vapor is called the equilibrium vapor pressure.
