Statement 1: Carbon dioxide (Tc = 304 K) can be liquefied at 298 K by applying sufficient pressure.

Statement 2: At 304 K, the densities of liquid and gaseous CO₂ become identical.

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Statement I is correct: 298 K < Tc, so compression can liquefy CO₂ there. Statement II is also correct: at the critical temperature the two phases merge into one fluid of equal density. But the critical-point density fact does not explain why liquefaction works at 298 K (that follows simply from being below Tc), so II is not the correct explanation of I. Ans: (b).
