Which of the following statements are correct?

A

It is not possible to compress a gas at temperature below `T_(c)`

B

At a temperature below `T_(c)`, the molecules are close enough for the attractive forces to act and condensation occurs

C

No condensation takes place above `T_(c)`

D

Due to higher kinetic energy of gas molecules above `T_(c)`, it is considered as super critical fluid

The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements regarding the gaseous state and critical temperature (Tc) are correct, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Critical Temperature (Tc)**: - Critical temperature (Tc) is defined as the temperature above which the vapor of a substance cannot be liquefied, regardless of the pressure applied. 2. **Analyzing Statement 1**: - **Statement**: "It is not possible to compress a gas below Tc." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. A gas can be compressed below its critical temperature (Tc). The critical temperature refers to the inability to liquefy the gas above this temperature, not below it. 3. **Analyzing Statement 2**: - **Statement**: "At temperature below Tc, the molecules are close enough for the attractive forces to act as condensation occurs." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Below the critical temperature, the molecules are indeed close enough that intermolecular forces can lead to condensation, allowing the gas to transition into a liquid state. 4. **Analyzing Statement 3**: - **Statement**: "No condensation takes place above Tc." - **Analysis**: This statement is also correct. Above the critical temperature, the gas cannot be liquefied, and thus no condensation occurs. 5. **Analyzing Statement 4**: - **Statement**: "Due to higher kinetic energy of gas molecules above Tc, it is considered a supercritical fluid." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Above the critical temperature, the kinetic energy of the gas molecules is high enough that they do not condense into a liquid, and the substance behaves as a supercritical fluid. ### Conclusion: Based on the analysis: - **Correct Statements**: - Statement 2: True - Statement 3: True - Statement 4: True - **Incorrect Statement**: - Statement 1: False Therefore, the correct options are **b, c, and d**.
