### Step-by-Step Solution **Step 1: Define Critical Temperature** - Critical temperature (Tc) is the maximum temperature at which a gas can be converted into a liquid by applying pressure. Above this temperature, no amount of pressure will cause the gas to liquefy. **Step 2: Understand the Conditions for Liquefaction** - To liquefy a gas, two conditions must be met: 1. The temperature of the gas must be reduced. ...
