Why cannot `CO_(2)` gas be liquified above `31.1^(@)C`?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The critical temperature of `CO_(2)` is `31.1^(@)C`. Above `31.1^(@)C`, due to the very high average kinetic energy of `CO_(2)` molecules, the attraction between them becomes negligible. As a result, `CO_(2)` gas cannot be liquefied above `31.1^(@)C`.
