Any substance above its critical temperature exists as _____________________?
Correct answer: B. Gas
- A. Saturated vapour
- B. Gas
- C. Solid
- D. Liquid
Explanation
Above the critical temperature, no amount of pressure can produce a separate liquid-vapour phase transition. The substance is therefore in the gas or supercritical-gas region, making gas the intended choice.
