In versus graph, the horizontal line is found in which ____ exists.
Options
- AGas
- BLiquid
- CEquilibrium between gas and liquid
- DSuper critical temperature.
Correct answer
C. Equilibrium between gas and liquid
Step-by-step solution
From the graph, at point (A, \mathrm{CO}_2) exists as a gas, As pressure is increased, the volume of the gas decreases along the curve . At liquefaction of the gas starts. Hence, volume decreases rapidly along because liquid has much less volume than the gas. At point , liquefaction is complete. Thus, along horizontal line, gas converts into liquid.
