Cp of a gas at its critical temperature and pressure_______________?

Correct answer: B. Becomes infinity

  • A. Becomes zero
  • B. Becomes infinity
  • C. Equals 1 kcal/kmol °K
  • D. Equals 0.24 kcal/kmol °K

Explanation

At the critical point, large fluctuations in fluid properties cause the constant-pressure heat capacity, Cp, to diverge theoretically toward infinity. The finite numerical options do not represent critical-point behavior.
